Tank decided to start leaking again... BADLY... Puddle on floor badly this time, so i spent Friday night sumping all the livestock, draining the tank and getting it ready to be stripped and rebuilt...:(
Even worse was waking up on saturday morning to discover that my return pump had helped itself to one of my chromis!:banghead::banghead:

Thanks man! Chiller has made a massive difference! 1/2hp is a bit overkill for my setup, but it will still handle when I go bigger one day.
 
Yup busy filling now! But ro machine is slow lol unless j happen to have 200l of ro lyin around
 
Ha ha ha ha! That would have bee useful info last night! Hows to drop it off ar my house, thanks!
 
Ok so with the tank sealed and cured it was time to start the process all over again, here are some pics....
Salt and RO going in... Also covered the overflow in some black abs, and changed the overflow grate to eggcrate...

live stock back in! I have a tank again!

After two days of filling and filling and filling... And filling, i checked the parameters and they were close enough to reconnect the sump and main tank and get the livestock back into ther new old home lol... I acclimated the sump just in case by transferring water from the main tank using air tubing to siphon slowly. And after a tedious day of gravel washing rock cleaning and fish catching. Here is the result... The water is still a bit murky and the glass is filthy but you get the idea...:thumbup:
