Update 11/18/18 As promised, some rock work today. Used nylon rods with nylon nuts. The rods are flexible but once cut to size they became pretty rigid. Anyhow, we’re currently splitting duty between this and cleaning the house for thanksgiving. I really wish I took pictures of the process but...

Update 11/17/18 Once again, I lost track of time and didn’t come close to working on the scape. Tomorrow I promise! Here’s what is done. Majority of the work on the fish room. I can happily say the wiring is complete! Also, the pump plumbing is complete! I made a mistake with the valve...

Update 11/16/18 You know... I’m absolutely terrible at estimating how much time something will take. Lol. I wanted to finish the electric... and I finally did it today but I’m absolutely spent. Main lines for Essential and Non Essential EBs Fish room from the entry Rats nest for the...

A little more progress 1/2 of the wiring has been run for the display tank to where the Apex will sit. Still need 8 more outlets behind the sump and then I’ll move onto wiring mixing station outlets and QT. I’m hoping I’ll be home tonight through the rest of the week and it should all be done...

To update every one, fish are going through copper treatment as they have somehow contracted the Ich. We had one loss, the mueller butterfly, but I truly believe this is somewhat isolated and a reaction to the copper. I tried pulling him out and putting him into NSW but he didn’t make it. I...

Working on the rock scape. Here’s what we’re thinking. Plan on extending that over hang and make it a little girthier with rubble rock later on. This isn’t final by any means just a general thought. Let us know what you think. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay, I actually had a few days at home and got quite a bit! Walls touched up with paint, floors watched. New PVC molding and recaulked. Posts supporting the floor were cleaned of any rust using steel who’ll then painted with truck bed liner. Today, I ordered the glass for baffles and will...

Update 11/5/18: As I look to making another 2 week tour away from home (I think it’s the last one), here’s a quick update of work done since my previous post. Most of the equipment has been cleaned. Just little odds and ends like float switches and probes still left to do. The fish room has...

I’m trying to get there! Thank you! I wish I could take the credit but it was the boss lady! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have two 20amp circuits dedicated to the aquarium which are all in the basement fishroom. On my previous tank, the power was simply brought upstairs via an extension chord. I wanted to clean that up a bit and take care of whatever needs I may have. The blue are always live on two separate...

A little bit of progress on the upstairs. The electric is done at the tank and the beam is up. It’s clean up time and moving onto the fish room. -Paul Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, it’s a rainy day here in North Jersey which means I can continue to let my back rest and get some of the small things done. I started thinking about electrical needs and decided to start at the stand. I do want to mention that this part is strongly being influenced by Melevs article...

Update 11.1.18 It’s in! A good buddy of mine swung by today and he and I knocked it out. I was amazed that we didn’t run into a single problem bringing it in. Anyway, I’ll let the photos speak for themselves! Stand and new drains Backed the pick up truck right to the front door. This...

Update 10/31 Okay not terrible so far. I’m forced to take a break as I have to start getting ready for the neighborhood trick or treat event. But here’s what I got done: Wall has been spackled. Just needs to dry and I can sand it down and touch up the paint tomorrow Drains have been...

Thanks! Yes, I'm physically exhausted but must continue to work! Tank should be in the house tomorrow!

After removing the occupants of the 125, it was time to drain it and get it out of the house for cleaning. Yes, it’s filthy. The muck lifted after removing rock and chasing fish around was unreal. Sand is out Time to get it out. Go get this thing out of the house, I went over to Harbor...
