Here's my Big Office System

Last year while on a job in the woods I rolled a tree log over and got swarmed by hornets. I got stung about 50+ times! Ouch!!! I'd never had a bed reaction before and did "OK" despite the number of stings, but since then, one sting and I swell up. I'm always comming home with one rediculous injury or another!

We still have to make the final call on the tile and carpet for the floor. We have it narrowed down just need to make the decision. Maybe we'll get out this week end and order that as that is a huge next step.

Good luck Bax and feel better. That really stinks.

Atleast your not doing the floor where the existing tank is. When I got my tank used I had to set it up in the spare room so they could do the floors and then move it from the spare room to the living room.

What a nightmare.

Wow!

It's been a long time! Sorry!!!

I have not had any time to check the thread or PMs. I appologize to those I've not replied to. I've been just nuts with work and have tons more ahead to get this move together. My office tanks have to be down by Thanksgiving!

Much to do! I need to start building soon and will keep you posted. Hope to see ya at the SWAP!

Hey Bax, if you need a hand moving or anything let us know. I'm sure I can talk CJ into helping out too. Are you changing anything in the office system? If you have any new/bright ideas, nows the time!!

The new set up will be the best of what I've learned in terms of efficientcy and function ... I hope!

The plan to date:

I'm ordering a Deep Blue 150g from AO. I have a GH 1500 overflow for it.

I'm still debating exactly what I'll use out of my inventory for main sump, frag tank, fuge (or fuges), and a QT. I'll use some barrels for RODI & SW mixing.

I've got brand new Dart (BNIB ... had it for years!), a lightly used SRO 3000 External for a skimmer, my AquaMedic 1/2 horse chiller & 2x Ehiem Jager 300w heaters.

I have multiple Tunzes and an MP40 and an MP20 for flow. I also have 4x Korilia PHs to manage dead spots.

I also have 2 x TLF 150 rectors for GAC & GFO, a 36w UV and Ozone.

For lighting, I've got an Orphek 156, 2x Feng LEDs, I'll still use some MH over the frag for speed of growth. On that score, nothing beats MH. I'll flop between no MH in the summer to 250w and ultimately 400w in the winter for supplemental heating out in my sump room at night.

I have soooo much work ahead of me!

I feel the same way about my tank! Although your situation is a bit more pressing. LMK if you need help. I can stop by after work or something.

By when do I need to pick up the 100G (and pay youse)?

By Saturday ..... The 31st ..... of December .... 2011 :(

Sorry! I had to kick it to the curb along with lots of other tanks that I just can't use at home. They were gobbled up by passers by in no time! I just hope they facilitate someone's enterance into the hobby!

I am hunkered down in the garage with a 75 holding all fish and remaining corals and it's encased in 3/4 foam bord with two, yes two 300 watt ehiem jagger heaters!

But the tank temp was 79 at 5:45 this AM!

Well the holding tank is holding up well so far even under today's extremely cold temps.

I was slowed a bit the last ten days with wither a vicious cold or the flu, IDK which? I'm feeling much better now though, especially after that GIANT's win over GreenBay!!!!

I hit some milestones on the family room, the tile is down on the floor and the walls are painted. I have trim work to do and I can do that while I work on framing the stand. I haven't pick up the new tank because I was sick, but will get it this week. I heard a rumor that the Deep Blue non-RR tanks are 100% tempered! So, Will from AO is looking into that and that rumor remains unvarified. It sure would be a bummer to start drilling a tempered tank!

We could see water in the 150 in two week or so!
