yeah the light rack was delivered with the stand the same day. I hooked up my aquamedic on it already. Looks really nice. I will finish some stuff up tonight and i should be able to do a transfer of all the live stock. But i need to check the ammonia and nitrate levels first. Man it really sucked not having internet for a week. Plus i was on vacation so i could not even use it here at work. But now im back

That does suck. What did you do to entertain yourself?

[JOSE CASAS]

Come on its time!!

 

[savethereef]

ok ok just finished up. the tank is all clowdy right now so not the best pics. tomorrow should be alot clearer

 

[Dancing4raiin]

OH dang, look at you, You got that up quick.

 

[Dancing4raiin]

One thing, it does not look like you put anything under the stand. arent you afraid youwill mess up your Hardwood floor?

 

[savethereef]

what do you mean by something on the hardwood floor?

the sump is sitting on a small wood stand with support feet on it.

 

[JE]

niiiiiice! looking great!

 

[Dancing4raiin]

On the stand there are 6 points of contact with the floor. Would that not dent the floor with the weight? Thats what I was asking about. Cant wait to see pics of the tank clear.

 

[FOSELONE]

thought you had a bk no ?

 

[savethereef]

Yeah actually the legs on the stand has a metal plates that are 4x4 to distribute the weight even more on the ground. so no damage can happen.

Javier i had a BK300 a while back i just never updated it. If you want to come by and see the stand let me know. trust me once you got steel you wont want wood again. i have so much room down there its ridiculous

Tank is much clearer today. i also work on my fuge section last night. i added some miracle mud and about 40 pounds of LR and some Cheatto. i need to put the light on it though.

 

[FOSELONE]

why from bubble king to bubble master bro ???

 

[savethereef]

cheaper price and pretty close to performance. the Scicce pump is really good and even better with two.

even the new warner marine skimmers are using the sciccie pumps.

 

[Dancing4raiin]

Bump

 

[FOSELONE]

nothing new Rob ???

 

[savethereef]
