About a month ago I picked up Kylems old 300 on the other side of the state. Had one of my larger fiascos on the way back with the state police being convinced it was a portable meth lab, then finally got it home to sit around for a bit until I figured out what was planned for it.
Its mostly figured out, and from here I can wing it...LOL
With some help of a couple members here, we got it off the truck, (thanks Dave/NWdiver) and its been in my shop waiting until recently.
Patched up the closed loop, as bulkheads and I don't get along
must of done something right. Once its done you won't be able to see the patches.
With a little creativity, a Cherry picker, some 4x4s and a floor jack the tank is in the living room so I can work on it at night and mock up all the plumbing
Unfortunetly, I doubt I have enough plumbing
The tank feed will need to go up over 2 tanks, around a corner and down splitting in to 2 feed lines in to the top, the return needs to go through 1 stand then weave around the stand for the 750. It works in my head anyway
I'm mocking up my idea for the spray foam/rock side that will house the snowflake eel in my sump and any interesting tank mates that might come along. The other side will be a frag/grow out tank. The whole tank will be part of my main system. also got most of the coraline off, the whole tank needs to go out for one last pressure washing yet. But I need to mock up the plumbing at least.
I'm also experimenting with using weld on 16 instead of gaskets. I hate bulkheads and I'm not going to have access to the back of this tank without draining it or removing a wall. hope I don't regret it. If it works, I am redoing the 750 the same way.
