Nah I ran 3 tubes zipped everything up, cleaned up then realized I needed FOUR tubes lol. So had to move everything, cut it loose and the run the 4th tube. It was a PITA to get that 4th one pulled.

Going to use it with my Tunze Osmolator.

All my rock is back in the trash cans with 3g of bleach. will pull it out next week.

I mentioned in an earlier post about using a my tunze ATO with Spectrapure WXM module (due to distance of tank from RO/DI storage container.

Happened to find a video on youtube with a guy doing the exact same thing.

The one thing I am going to do in addition to exactly what is being done in the video, is put a float valve in the sump that is basically higher than the running level in the sump. I'm doing this to prevent a RARE event where the rollers on the peristaltic pump would fail to seal properly and allow a siphon to occur and essentially drain the ro/di container into the sump and overflow it in our sun room.

Got the ATO and NEW saltwater lines hooked up and tested last night.

It's ok if the rock gets wet.

Get some mortar to glue the pieces-I always use the Marco rock putty-trust me it’s worth it.

Here is a different one. But I think the center one looks like that orc castle from lord of the rings lol

Looks great now just get them in the tank haha

Got two of the bommies done and in the tank. They are a little higher than I had hoped. Was using 30” tall (tank height) when I should have done 28” (water height).

Looks great! I personally like the colum look, that’s why I have it in my tank haha. Did you get anything at the show?

 

[steveb]

Wasn’t planning on it but impulse got the best of me. Ended up with a Couple of chalices, a lepto and a mushroom.
