Well, that pretty much catches us up to where we are today. Whew! One heck of a ride thus far, eh? Like I said previously, nowhere to go from here but up! In the coming days, I'm going to begin work on the controller cabinet, and will be posting lots of progress pics along the way. I also plan on writing an article on how to DIY your own. The canopy will also be removed from the system and new lighting will be suspended above. Again, pics and updates along the way. Additionally, Stay tuned for unboxing and review videos (and pics) of the new Dalua products that I ordered, too! In the meantime, here is an update video of where we are today to help you visualize all of the stuff I was discussing earlier.

For note: Yes, I am aware of the drips coming from the BRS reactors. I had just removed the return tubing from them right before I filmed this video and they were residual. There have been a multitude of issues along the way, but I assure you, my tank is not leaking. lol

I thank you for all of the support and encouragement that you've shown up to now, and I hope that you'll continue to join me as we move this thing forward, together.

Namaste.

So I had been excitedly reading the build thread but when I got to your original scape pictures I was like “uggh, a giant stacked wall.” Womp wahhh. Sooooo glad you fixed that.

Wow... I am a new reefer and this build looks like a faraway dream to me... I want to be like you when I grow up! Amazing story as well. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, I really appreciate the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed following along! Yeah, it was a dream for me to build, too. You'll get there eventually. Set goals and smash 'em!

Thanks for following along and joining the party. Welcome to the crazy train, Ana!

Namaste.

Man, you are behind... totally need to get caught up on three different threads for the full scoop. I've been following and am still confused. Though, admittedly, I'm not too smart anyways...

I think the conversation of an intern came up and then someone said the name Brandon and the two got convoluted. I am only on my second cup of coffee though and admittedly, as soon as I hear RIP and that name I want to smash myself in the face with a chair, so I might not have it straight.

caught up here, except for pages 8 to where I came in on 10 (i think). It was pretty easy to scroll through last nights. Just confused on Tims comment: "rip clean"

I'm coffeed per the average, but if the conversation is over multiple threads, especially if there may be an odd "help me" thread, as usually happens to bring RIP Brandon in on us, I will remain lost. but not Brendon lost (it's with an E right? I think I remember that), just misplaced lost.

Pretty sure the Rip Clean was a reference to my Operation Overhaul. At least that's how I interpreted it, but I may be confused again. lol

Unfortunately there exists a definite cause and effect relationship between those two events...
