I wouldn't worry about the fishes monthly problems.... how's the family dealing with this size tank :) !?!?! "you never spend enough time with me... all you care about is your stupid fish.." uh.... maybe its just me?
 
no Brian, it's all of use. A few guys have decent mermaids but the majority are living in "sin". :lol:

How many times have I heard, "It's just a fish!".
 
i think this is a whole nother thread topic. although my wife is wonderful and did give me permission to build the big tank sometimes she feels a bit slighted and she won't go to the club meetings with me anymore, no matter how much alcohol i let her have. actually our new venue for the meeting is the first one that has a bar. and i think she will go to the BBQ next month. Anthony Calfo is coming.

good things my mermaid is fascinated with my project. the kids and her been picking out most of the fish selection. school of pink colored anthias is what she is looking for. i not sure the name of it, but that's next in line.
 
ok here are some more updates, finally after so many days finished the chiller and rest of the plumbing.
sheetrock was cutout then bulks were installed. ball and gates valves were used throughtout the plumbing for fine tuning.

intake and outlet for chiller with bulks

refugium is the last set of plumbing needed to be done after that i'm a happy camper :eek1:
 
Not bad considering it's your first tank. :rolleyes: Are you kidding me? Wow, I don't think mine would look this nice on my next build! Love the clean setup! Keep up the good work. :thumbsup:
 
The fact that, when looking at hat picture, all that plumbing seems "perfectly normal" to me is suddenly, ... very frightening

... there must be a pill or shock threapy or something available for us ... no?
 
sorry Bax, fat chance. No pill will fix this. I know, I have tried! :lol:

And Bart, I love seeing those $2 gate valves. Warms my heart. :)

i'm beyond the pill, trying something new...shock therapy works pretty good:D oh $2 gates not from spears :eek1:
 
Man, I have spent the last few hours going over all 34 pages of this forum with my wife. We were just amazed. I want to dump my 29g and uprade now more than ever. However, I have years before I see that happening. Awesome Job, can't wait for more pics.
 
Why does this disease never leave me !

Why does this disease never leave me !

The fact that i think about building a new home just to have a in wall tank with fish room is crazy..... will it happen? Yes, most likely it will. I have the tank sitting in my garage awaiting the new house. It is a true sickness of perfectionists and problem solvers.... which is me. Why me though?

Plumbing is beautiful.... almost as much as the Tank is beautiful !

Incredible tank!!

I have a few questions, how does the water flow in your three tier system. Does it flow from the top one to the middle one and then to the bottom one via overflow. Or are they each connected to the main sump, where they receive water from and then return it back.

I am also assuming that you have practiced cutting the power and checked for flodding right?

Looking amazing,

MJD
