Welcome from Homer, AK! We love Fairbanks :)

I know how you feel about a ~300 mile ride to [the same] LFS also.. I'm making a run up there next week, have some other business in the area as well.

Sounds like you have enough in the works to fire up that build thread, link it in here!

@Akreefnewguy is also up in FB and just started some tanks, figured I'd note!

Thanks. I'm hoping the tank comes in today or tomorrow. It should have arrived at the port already.
I started a build thread but it's more of a junk collection thread at this time.

I thought I did all the steps for my build thread to show up but I must be doing something wrong.

sorry I am late
You’re never too late. Or too early if you arrive precisely when you mean to.
Nice lemon peel. I’d like to have one but my prior experience with them in my previous FOWLR tanks they were more aggressive than I’d like right now.

With one of the goals (family's requirement) of being able to leave for a week or so without needing a reef expert sitter (are there any in Fairbanks?) I made a 75 liter / 20 gallon RODI reservoir. This was my first time making anything from acrylic in decades. I forgot how much I don't like working with black or non-transparent acrylic. One area didn't get bonded well enough and after about 24 hours in the garage the leak test failed. I saw the tiny separation however I had low confidence so applied ATI silicone before leak testing. The silicone held very well. I applied more Weld-On then clamped it anyway.

Plumbed for a Neptune ATK and monitored using the Neptune LLS. Height is 26" and the LLS is only 24" so I set the alarm just above the 0" mark so I have time to refill before it runs dry. Right now I'm using about 2.9L or 0.77g per day. That gives me over 3 weeks before needing to fill up again.

Dohhhh. Just realized this was going in the meet and greet forum. Sorry everyone. I'll move it to my build. I thought I was missing something but maybe I was more forgetful than I realized and dreamed that I posted other stuff.
