Are you making any progress on your hundred-thousand-dollar build?

 

[aquavista99]

I have thrown a few more dollars on the build since my last update and as of today, the tank is officially wet!!! I started adding RO/DI over 24 hours ago and plan to leave it running non-stop for days. I added a 25' extension hose to the RO/DI output which worked out really well. And the Pukani rock will be ready to add to the tank soon too. It has been sealed in almost complete darkness for about 11 months now.

Is that a standard 44 gallon brute can? If so, those Pukani rocks are HUGE!

Aww yea man

guess we have the same tank bday because I was doing this last year

Huge milestone! Congrats! Are you going to trim those shims when everything is filled up and settled in? Sorry, my OCD is kicking in

 

[aquavista99]

Yes indeed. The Pukani rock was hand selected for my build and each piece of rock is extra large in size. One piece was so large that it ripped a whole in a brand new 44g Brute container.

Very nice! I decided it would be much easier to do the water test first, then add the salt mix later. My water level is slowly rising too.

Thank you and yes I am the same way ... I was thinking it would be easier to trim the shims with the tank being full of water to keep them in place. It is going to be tricky as the shims are large too.

Sweet...congrats on getting it wet! How long do you anticipate it taking to fill? Eagerly waiting...

 

[aquavista99]

It should take about a week to fill up the tank.

I've been hearing about this tank build for years. Good to see that it's finally getting wet!

We need a live stream to watch the tank filling!

This sums up reefers perfectly.....and I totally agree, set that up for us. That would be exciting!
