griss' Tank Upgrade Thread

[griss]

Okay, plumbing is done. I’ll likely wait until next weekend to start filling it since I’ll be working in the office all week. I don’t want to fill and not be able to monitor for leaks.

To do list:
- Fill tank
- Start return pump
- Get heaters (2 300w) going
- Add salt
- Order/build T-Slot light frame
- Install lights
- Adjust water parameters
- Move livestock from old tank
- move RODI and build water mixing storage
- Breakdown & sell old tank
- Phase 2 of basement finish can then begin
- Set up frag tank

I’m still up in the air about doing a remote fuge. I’m going to use the fuge portion of the sump as a cryptic sponge area.

Correction, my heaters are (1) 300w and (1) 500w.

I like the new scape.

We got about 15” of here, but with the drifting, it’s not unusual to find areas 24”+ as your walking.

Now we’re under extreme cold warnings the rest of the week with lows down to -8 and windchills -20+
