Sonicboom's 180 build in Tampa

Sonicboom said:
Haha, thanks!. On another note, I am seriously considering moving the tank to the library at the front of the house. I would then be able to have a fish room upstairs directly above it. There is already a sink in there. The sump will stay below the tank and only the ro, top off container and qt will be upstairs. Any horror stories come to mind?

Just depends on how your floor boards are ran to determine if you need to reinforce because of weight or not.
 
Hard to see in the pic but I changed my Durso to a full siphon. I reduced the 1/4" stand pipe to 1" and added a flat drain. Used the already existing ball valve to adjust flow on one side (which I need to replace with a gate now). On the other side I already had a gate valve so adjustment only took a few seconds. Tank is dead silent! No bubbles popping in sump, no air hissing.

Update:
Started Vodka Dosing with 100 proof @ 4 ml since Sunday to today. I have not cleaned front glass since Sunday and there is only a faint dusting of algae on it. Prior to that after only 8 hours the glass would be barely visible. For 8 bucks a bottle of vodka compared to the cost of gfo, this might be the way I go. Plus the fish are all mello..lol
 
Will do! I am amazed at how clean the glass is after three days, hair algae is also fading in color. Tomorrow morning is double dose day and should really make a difference.
 
So tonight my bangaii released 1 fry which I caught and placed in breeder, then the female came by and screwed up his plan since she started messing with him so he didn't release any others, then the lights shut off for the new moon... I hope he holds the rest until tomorrow night.

You finally got your tort. I forget which booth had one but their price was off the charts and it wasn't even as close to being big as yours. Sorry I couldn't hang with you too. I was a t work when I should've been having fun.
 
Yea, this one was 80.00 and I asked if he wanted to sell it or take it with him, dropped to 70 ;) lol once I got those three and didn't win anything in the raffle I was gone...lol. Good to see ya though, oh and the laurel and hardy Orphek girls..lol
