Scooties Project "X"

Great job Scooterman. As for the primer, I know alot of people (including myself) that don't or have not used it. I have had no problems yet. It.s been almost 5 months.

I'm thinking I'll use some sort of marine Epoxy on it & call it good, I looked for PVC epoxy but can't find that.
Thanks Ron.

Been having minor set-backs, just had wisdom teeth removed, & other expenses that is holding me a little longer than planned but I'm still making progress, I'm through preparing the wall that needs to be painted & soon when I can move I'll start painting so I can cross that off my list. In the meantime here is my new sump, I need to get it drilled & have the glass shop cut me some pieces to make the baffles but these shots will give you an idea of what it is going to look like. this will add to a total of 183 gallons of water space now, more is better I'm told.

Waste removal is difficult for these species, also feeding, they eat tons of food, I'd recommend only experienced persons to try & keep one of these long term

Feed 'em well, and make sure they have access to a well ventilated area, and you shouldn't have many problems Scooty. I have been lucky so far with my specimens!!

Well today I got in my Sequence Wahoo 1550GPH with a 32 foot cutoff, I think I might of gotten too big of a pump, I will have to keep I guess about 12" of solid water to keep up with it, this pump is three times bigger than the closed loop pump, any advise on this before I start setting up the sump will be appreciated.

 

[Krish]

I bet that thing weights about 30+ lbs
