135G Oceanic (Thank you Jennifier, and all the guys who helped get it in here)

It's finally the star of my living room! Here's the tank I bought from Jennifier, newly set up. I'll move the rocks around when things come back out more, so I can see what needs moved where.

Today I am very happy:bigsmile:

Looks good. You got a really good deal on that setup.

That big branch looks cool too. I think the rock looks good as is but lookin' forward to seein' updates.

Stupid question. But just putting it out there. Did you forget the rubber washer that goes on the wet side of the bulkhead? Or possibly the washers are old and needs to be changed?

Also see if you cross treaded the nuts on the bulkhead.

The Skimmer is overflowing, You need to open the vavle and let it run wide open until it breaks in again, Then you can adjust it to the desired level after a week or two.

Looking good

TinaFoster · Oct 9, 2011

Thanks for the tips guys! I'll open the skimmer and make sure all the o-rings are in place. Or have Dennis make sure. He got a new bulkhead for the one with the bad leak but the others he's better off to check.

Looks great!

Sorry to hear about the leaks. Remember that over-tightening the bulkheads will also cause them to leak.

He's swearing and slamming doors, and saying I don't know. He can't get the old bulkhead off. This is about where he usually gives up on projects and they get undone forever--but that can't happen in saltwater so I hope something changes quick!
