also picked up some used and slightly used goodies. the sro 5000 skimmer i plan to gravity feed from my overlow aprox 6-7 feet above, come with 1 year old bubble blaster. the barracuda at 4300gph will replace the blackfin3600 and will run a motorized ball valve. teh sro5000 ca reactor (pratically new)will replace my salt-balling for the most part and the iwaki MD100rlt???? anybody need one?

See..........take your time that is my motto too") lol
You are to modest rowski we all are watching you like a hawk for ideas!
I am unable to see white PVC because i have special eyes.....

ok ok. for 4 years....25 years ago, I was an Aircraft Maintance Engineer for a fly-out fishing operator in Canada. We maintained 8 aircraft and 5 of them were from the 1950's ( beachcraft d-18s). so given thier age there was much fabrication going on and hence a little background there. but I try to K.I.S.S.

Iwaki 100. dang thats big. but any who I know you will do a great job at setting this up. and i dont think you can k.i.s.s. any tank set up. and btw pep he has way more than 10 tanks at his house. and he prolly could start a fish store with all the stuff.

thanks man! actually peppie lives 5 minutes away so we see eachother regulary but I think he missed the highpoint of my madness. all the tanks you speak of have been gone since last summer....just got some new additons last week though that may be used for the new build, and if not then, disposed of. think im gonna keep it down to 2 tanks so when the 300g is up then the 120p with display fuge and canopy lift will be up for sale.

 

[kpiotrowski]

Darn weather! that stand is 90% finished underneath that tarp and it does'nt look like the weather will cooperate for a week or so. This build will take long enough and its painfull to know there is nothing I can do about it.

oh, I get it....then I can just hold the grinding wheel and they can turn the stand!

You would probably get more ground off the stand if you were one of those rotating the stand. Just saying you need to be able to hold onto a power tool longer than 3 mins at a time in an 8 hour work day.

Got to love hourly weather forcasts! I seen a 3 hour break in the rain and finished grinding and zinc priming that stand. ( and yes dave I held a power tool for more than 3 minutes...which was a pretty exagerated dig in the first place) now for a solid rainless day for a top coat. ( and no I'm not gonna paint under my covered patio so all the overspray coats my windows etc)
