Fudsey's 135.4 Box of Water

No water there unless something leaks or bad happens but I also won't be using that one.

Can I have the Kegerator then

Just better to play it safe, because you know old Murphy. He just shows up

Yes you can have it but you have to come get it.....

;Hilarious;Hilarious

Finished plumbing and modifying the sump in the basement. Only took 3 trips to the hardware store but one wasn't my fault. I figured the PVC cement I got last August would still be good.... Nope.

Had to make the hole in the sump overflow/sock cover larger to accommodate my pipes. It's set up for side by side and not front and back. The red arrow is where the cover hole used to end. I extended it to where it is now.

Last trip to the hardware store was for a single 45 elbow for the return. I had one but needed 2. My old sump was a 40B and return was straight up. I figure I am going to have to turn the pump up a bit because of the reduction and 2 additional 45s.

We'll see, hopefully getting wet tomorrow afternoon.

Can't wait to see it filled with water! These new systems are giving the RSR a run for it.

It's wet and sand in 1/2 of it, where rock was. No leaks so far but need more water. Got to get some rocks in there for the other side

The suspense....Two weeks of waiting and he’s making us wait some more!

Alright here ya go, it's full and running. Overflow is not as quiet as the Glasshole's one was but it's not too bad. Return is noisy but I think that's cause I have it agitating the surface. I put in 2 of my live rock just for the time being. I know once I add the rest and more sand it will get cloudy again. Used the Marineland in tank polisher, as you can see, to clear the dust. Worked great. still a little cloudy but also no lights over it. They are over the holding tank for now.

It's a pain in the... to run up and down the stairs, while filling the sump from brutes and using the return to pump it up to tank, making sure it's not splashing everywhere
