Sonicboom's 180 build in Tampa

[Stylo328]

That's incredible! It seems no matter how minimalist I am with equipment, my tanks always seem to run warm.

 

[Sonicboom]

Now my QT which is in another room with a lid and no vent overhead was at 80.

 

[Sonicboom]

Sounds like good news. Can't wait to see the new space.

45k for a 10'x16' fish room ? I need to hire a Cuban says my wife!

 

[tolowkjr]

You have a sweet setup going on, can't wait to see it with all the Leds on.

 

[Sonicboom]

Thanks tolowjr, I hope to have the other two by months end, too many summer camp activities killed the funds

 

[Sonicboom]

Came home to this from my temporary ph,

Thank goodness it didn't break the glass.

 

[Stylo328]

I wonder how much it bumped around before you found it.

 

[Sonicboom]

it was pushing itself against the back glass, my concern was the thick coat of sand on everything else including corals. I blew everything off with a turkey baster and everything opened back up. I had just checked the camera a few hours earlier so i think it was that way for about an hour.

 

[Sonicboom]

So i replaced the temporary 1/2 gallon top off container with a 5 gallon one i picked up from Corals and Fins for $6.00 and a 1/4" bulkhead, didn't know they came that small..lol

Bulkhead with 1/4" tubing going to float valve

Container

This is still temporary but i have everything working, Now i can decide if i want to move this upstairs and run a line from the RO/DI to it. Oh you can only do this mod if you have a 6yr old child or under that can get an arm inside the opening to hold the nut for the bulkhead!!

Cant go wrong with gravity fed ATO. Great way to use child labor the right way.

Hope all is well. Reefbuilers just reported that there are recalls coming with the Wavelines.

:headwallblue:What

 

[Newbie Aquarist]

Just passing some info along. Might, might not affect you. Just giving you a heads up.

 

[Sonicboom]

interesting, this might be bad either way for them and users of the pump, if it passes certification, it will be looked at as fraud blah blah blah, fine imposed and company goes under, if it fails, refunds to all, fine imposed and company goes under....

 

[Newbie Aquarist]

I see the only thing positive is company goes under.

 

[Sonicboom]

That blows because i REALLY like this pump, hopefully they will replace it with a 12k

 

[worm5406]

I was ordering the wavelines but I had to order two speedwave 10000 instead.

 

[Sonicboom]

oh i thought they were the same with a different brand
