Met up with my buddy Ed (Drdoolittle) this morning and picked up a few goodies. H&S A250 skimmer for main display tank.

It fits nicely in the sump.

The H&S A110, A150, & A250 for a little size comparison.

400 lbs rated actuator. I still need to pick up a mb3 bracket, switch, & power supply.

 

[gimmito]

Heavy duty drawer guides.

The frag tank all wrapped up in frp.

Other updates:

I'm expecting my BRS order to come in this week so I can finish up the plumbing. I also have to order my lights (lumenmax elites), ballasts (lumatek selectable 250/400 watt), & bulbs (leaning towards giesemans 14k se). Gen and I are working on a design for a metal rack similiar to the rim on my tank.

Thanks Krish.

My BRS order arrived today.

More schedule 80 plumbing (as if I didn't have enough).

 

[gimmito]

4 deluxe BRS reactors and a Jumbo BRS reactor. I plan on using one deluxe reactor w/carbon and the jumbo reactor w/phosguard for the main display. One of each deluxe reactor for the frag tank and One deluxe reactor w/mix media for the quarantine tank.

Would you guys tee of the return or run a dedicated pump for the reactors ?

Any thoughts ?

 

[gimmito]

Phosguard and one very large 5 gallon bucket of carbon.

 

[gimmito]

(2) JBJ 500 watt titanium heaters (I'll hook them up to Ranco controllers).

 

[gimmito]

and of course to clean the tank...one serious Great White acrylic magnet cleaner.

 

[gimmito]

Some other goodies...3 Ranco temperature controllers.

 

[gimmito]

3 titanium ground probes.

Here's a pic of some nice Fiji rock I picked up from Ted (ExtremeReefer) and Bill (CookieJar). They range from 15 lbs to a whopping 40 lbs on the one on the bottom. This bring my total to about 300 lbs and I think I'm good to go once I get my rockscaping materials. :razz:
