Smoothdog's 150DD build

[smoothdog]

Is that the happy dance or your reaction to what your wife had to say? :dance:

She did the happy dance too because the skimmer, neck cleaner and vortech were all free! :inlove:

You just gave me a strange feeling of deja vu and hope.
Been staring at my tracking info which does not say 'out for delivery' but has been in earth city since yesterday afternoon.

Im also getting a vortech too so maybe i will have the ups guy show up unexpectantly here soon.

Keep your fingers crossed. I checked the status on mine this morning just out of curiosity and it just went from sitting in EC to delivered, never showed that it made it out for delivery. Looks like something is jacked with their tracking system.

Checked it and it says delivered so I suspect you are right, its probably a scanner at the EC center that's down. Oh well I got my package cheers!:beer:

Nice!

Now you got me doing the dance.
It can't get any sweeter then that.

Thanks! I measured 3 times and researched until I was blue in the face :hmm1:, if this doesn't fit I'm gonna cry. I should have a little over 2" clearance to remove the cup for maintenance with the neck cleaner on. The SRO would have barely cleared without the neck cleaner by the time I would have raised it high enough to perform properly.

Did you get this thing in place yet slacker?

 

[smoothdog]

Getting ready to do it now. Mine didn't come pre-conditioned like yours.

Okay, so the new floor is in, now I just need to build a stand. The tank will be going where the cardboard on the floor is, but I can't seem to make up my mind how I want to do the stand. The lines will be going through the floor against the wall and will be at the corner of the stand so I was thinking about having double legs inset a little from each corner, I would also like to have only the legs touching the floor. The new flooring is bamboo and is pretty water resistant but if some were to spill on the floor and run under the stand it would be nice to be able to mop it up before it soaked between the boards and caused issues...

But there is now, and technically it was running in the vinegar bath pic. :frog:

Oh, and my neck cleaner is already programmed to run for 15 sec every 4 hours!

What did you slackers get done in the last couple hours? :hammer:

Sweet, mine is programmed but my relay isn't in yet so I guess it doesn't count

 

[VSpeck]

Added gfo to Alex's tank, added about 50lbs of rock, and gave you trouble!

 

[VSpeck]

Oh and while I've been away my skimmer has been skimming because it wasn't in freshwater :blown:
