Dubber`s in-wall 29 gallon

oops....


She's full!





My mixing station idea for above the tank. It should allow easier top offs and water changes.

 

There's no ATO, this is all manual pumps and valves for water changes and top offs. As seen in the diagram the fresh water outake will be well above the salt mixing water. At this point it will just be an MJ with some hose that I will manual do until I can figure out some hard plumbing.

 

Yeah I snapped on last night.





I have the manual top off setup. It's just 1/2" pvc from the left tank above to the back corner of the tank just below the rim. It's not visible from the front of the tank. I plumbed the saltwater refill drip tube lastnight. I need to grab an MJ from petsmart today so i can pump water from the rodi tank to the mixing tank now.





I don't have a light yet. It was shipped yesterday. That's just light from the room behind the tank.

 

Ordered a CPR Bak Pak 2

 

Changing out the sand this weekend. I cna't stand the fine stuff in this shallow of a tank. I dropped my MP10 in and it's a mess again. Shifting greatly and showing the bare bottom even with the MP10 under max 40%. I bought some caribsea Hawaiian black. I had planned to go this route in the beginning. Not sure why I changed.

 

i want to go to fragfest but don't want to be tempted into buying anymore equipment. I'm impatient as it is. Now I'm looking at getting a used Apex Jr.

There should be a large update tomorrow after the sand swap, repainting the back glass, putting in the MP10. After a week it has started consuming ammonia. It was brought up to 4-5ppm last week and was down to 1ishppm last night.

My Buildmyled fixture is out for delivery today.

 

Here we go.....





Did a full sand swap tonight, got my light all hooked up. Currently selling some other stuff on eBay to fund an Apex JR unit to control the light and hopefully get the module to control the MP10.





This buildmyled light is amazingly constructed and made right here in the USA!

















Pre Filling with new Hawaiian black sand






My salt water mix drip tube at work. I have to say it worked great!
















Only up about 25%

 

Doooooo Eiiiiiiittttttt!!

 

Getting a lot of weird reflections in there.


I think I'm going to have to hang my light. I can visually see the red LEDs shining on the rock work

 

Go for it!

 

Well, we have quite a few updates.

Currently in transit to my house are

Apex Jr
WXM Module
VMX Module and dimmer cable for the leds
