What I've been doing... lately. Da Animal 180 Build!!

Damn bro that tank is looking siiiiiick wish I would have joined up this forum sooner so I could see how you did all this, do you need an apprentice ? Lol
 
Doing the reefer happy dance for you!!! Congrats!!! Can't wait to see it stocked. I'm surprised your tangs haven't put a hit out on you...look how long they've waited for this. lol They're probably pacing in the frag tank drooling at their future home.

Have you decided what you will be adding to the tank first after cycle has completed? As in a favorite piece of coral/favorite fish to document/celebrate this special occasion? An achilles maybe? lol

Don't get confused bro. What I do sometimes, is take a break from all the research and reading :debi: and then follow up on it the next day. I even reread it to make sure I understand, then I try to have a disscussion about it with a reefer buddy.. OR post a question about it. :thumbsup:

TY Willy... yes indeed they seem to just have their own personalities and I'm excited to finally get them into there new home, obviously in due time.
 
Hey Douggie Fresh!!! My regards to you and the family and Thanks buddy!.

Yeah right!!! Awi.... LOL!!

My update... seems like it's already starting off bad!!! Last week my Reeflo Dart started leaking from the seal in the volute. Started with a small drip every couple of minutes. Then the day after, it started trickling. So I had to disconnect the Dart and add two mag drives to the sytem to keep water circulating to the refugium and to the main display. If it's not one thing then it's another.
Good news is I called Reeflo to order the seal and inquired about buying a back-up pump. They stated they normally dont sell to the public but decided that this was an extreme measure and that they would do it just this time. So I got a new back up pump and seal for the old one for just under $300 and that included shipping!! Excellent Customer Service!! Reeflo is outstanding!!

I had my seal go bad also on my dart. They replaced it under warranty. Once I installed it everything has been running fine. As for my aquascaping, you will soon see Noel lol. Give me a few months for my rock to be ready :rollface:
 
Well my order arrived yesterday and I was extremely happy with the fast shipping. My Snapper / Dart Hybrid pump is ready to go as a backup pump, but I've just been feeling under the weather to do any real work to the other dart and replace the seal and bearing.

@ Ari... I'll be waiting broski!!
