I suppose I deserved that :debi: I've got some very nice and awesome updates to come
Thanks MarkJust now saw the pics from the 13th. Looking good! Time for more now.
It's cyano and diatom city at the moment lol but when that clears up a little more I'll definitely be taking some more pics! Not that it bothers me lol it's all part of the dry rock and fresh sand cycle lolIt's very exciting but not quite acro related yet :hammer:
and I have a wrasse that I never thought I'd own but no pics on him until he's settled and happy as he cost me more than my liver is worth :blown:
Thanks Mark
It's very exciting but not quite acro related yet :hammer:
The sump is in, it's nearly full with RO and almost ready to come online! :bounce3: Just waiting on the return to come in and hopefully that will be today!! It's a bloody amazing sump and the RO reservoir is just fantastic! No barrels or anything next to the tank and it's out of the way under the sump.
I've done some cable management, mounted the Kore, the cabinet lights and organised things in general but I can't finish cable management until the sump is online and things are in the sump to route. I'll snap some quick pics today of how it looks
The really exciting news is fish related though, one fish I've been chasing for about 2+ years has been caught by one of the suppliers
Things are progressing along really well and aside from the new tank uglies which got a good cleaning with a 25L water change done on Tuesday and yesterday everything is happy and growing! I can't wait to have the sump online and to fill it with **** lol
Well I suppose I've left it long enough now :fun5: we're nearly there now!! I spent today adding salt and temp to the sump and it's all mixing and circulating now
The Vectra will be in on Wednesday and by then all the plumbing will be set and cured so we'll be completely running! I'm looking forward to the smoothness that will come with the sump running and everything going again, I'm going to change up to component 1, 2 & 3 for the dosing as it's easy to get hold and just a cost effective as Randy's this is the left side with the shelf, doser and frag tank, I'm so glad the Kore has holes to be screw mounted!
Thanks Flo
I think it should be a pretty smooth operation to get it running One of the stores here gets them custom made. They're a PDU that's got no brand on them, very similar to server rack PDU's though
This is damn fine tech porn!Well I suppose I've left it long enough now :fun5: we're nearly there now!!

I suppose some pics of the sump might be nice
Then there's the right side which houses the overflow, skimmer and heater in the first chamber, the RO section underneath which I LOVE! lol. Along with all of that is the power management centre of two powerbars for 16 plugs lol not that I currently use them all! I still need to finish the wiring but that needs to wait for the equipment to be in the sump lol
Then when have the shelf where I've got the ballast living and it will also hold the dosing containers and other misc sh!t lol
As you can see I've mounted some led's down the guts of the cabinet and they work a treat
As some of you may know I've got a once in a lifetime fish currently being held in the acro tank at Deer Park and I am beyond excited to get this gem of a cirrhilabrus! Of course once I put down my liver to ensure my name went on him, I got a message from Dave a few hours later with a screenshot from one of his suppliers....
The bugger had finally sourced a l. susumi for me after three years of chasing one! It doesn't help that I have to pay half a kidney to get this guy too, he's gorgeous though, waiting patiently in store till they remove my kidney :lolspin: looks like I can manage without some vital organs and food for the next month hahaha
Thanks Matt :beer: I'm pretty happy with the cabinet and everything underneathThis is damn fine tech porn!
And what I like most about tech porn is that it is a teaser for the coral porn to follow.
I should have some decent coral porn in the next couple of days though 
One of the stores here gets them custom made. They're a PDU that's got no brand on them, very similar to server rack PDU's though
Thanks Josh, I'll hopefully fill it with zoa's today
The invisible fish will stay invisible till he's in and settled as I don't want to jinx it haha only a few people actually know what I'm getting lol. Andrew has had no trouble telling me I've lost the plot though :wildone:
Thanks Matt :beer: I'm pretty happy with the cabinet and everything underneath
The tank has come together really nicely and I love being able to see the sump and everything too
I must admit I was terrified taking some frags home from the frag meet the other night but I'm glad I did in the end, they seem to be really happy
(excuse the dirty glass lol)
Did you get two of everything like i told you to or are you not wanting anything from the frag night i wasn't invited to............
Yep lol the good things usually are :lmao: I'm sure you could find something very similar!
There's 1200 reasons for that haha. I'm going to get the poor mans version, a c. burgessi but that'll come whenever it does. Most of my fishlist is a order it when it comes up and pay it off as I go, simply due to the uncommon nature of most of them lol. I wish I could order things in a specific order but I can't afford that luxury with the fish I want lol. I think it'll be a while off though, I want to add the butterfly last once the tank is well established!Thanks Flo
Just for you!
haha I would have but they're all one's you got anyway lolDid you get two of everything like i told you to or are you not wanting anything from the frag night i wasn't invited to............
haha I'm not a Thursday night person either, I only go when I know a few of my mates from around town will be there so I can catch up with them! lol Like Andrew, I opted for the Friday morning leftovers haha
Cheers Mike :beer:
Got a new update or two about to be posted! lol
