Jacqueline's Reef 290 Build

[twiggyb]

Thanks Daniel, It was fun. I hope all is well with your dad.:worried:

He's doing good so far, he's gotta go back in a couple weeks to get his heart taken care of, his first problem wouldn't allow the docs to go in and fix his heart problem. As long as he takes it easy I think he'll be just fine, now I gotta find someone else to help me plumb my tank! I can't wait till theres life in your tank Dave!

Next time bring some live bait like worms or crickets, you won't be able to beat them off the hook

The sump comes in on Thursday so it will see its first water on sat or sun. Just in time. The warranty is up on sept 2. :ape:

 

[dbuesking]

The sump will tie in on the left side of the 2" T and the fuge,which I will wait till later to get on line, will be on the right.

Looking for imput. Does anyone see any flow issues with it set up this way?

[rackman]

my only input is to fill that bad boy up before sept. 2 :fun4:

 

[chadfarmer]

go ahead and turn on the RO and filler her up , it will take a while to get her full

 

[octopus56]

I don't know if you already did Dave but all that metal support under the tank should be coated with some water resistant coat to prevent any rust down the road-marine coat?
