RODI Running & Plumbing Pics!!!

[Nanook]

I have RODI water running in the 300g stock tank

I did a lot of plumbing the last couple of days and have a couple friends coming over this evening to help me finish it up. After the plumbing is completed, we only have to finish hanging cabinet doors and trim

After cabinet doors and trim, it is time to rock and roll:beer:

Of course, there are some things I still need to get for the system, but the overall project is nearing completion.

Wait a second...

He said "water in the stock tank"

Should we really be all that impressed?...

... I guess considering the history, why not, I'll have a beer too

Way to go Nook!

Random plumbing

Last but not least.....

I really hope those three Haywards are enough. Do you have a backup plan if they're not? Is there room to put more in?

Backup plan would be to drill more bulkheads. I have the long tank draining into sump#2, so we will have to see when I fire it all up next week:eek2:

Impressive I must admit!! I can't wait!! Umm.. Nook I still don't see any SALTwater in either of your tanks?? You sure they can handle water?? I mean it's been a few decaids now, I mean you proved they can hold AIR no doubt about that...... :lol2:
