You can’t attach the line to Pvc or something and run it down one way?

No I can’t unfortunately. The access point I need is right in front of that closet railing. I need to be able to get up into the crawl space drill the hole, pull the line, and then fish outside through that vent. I’m going to have a secondary access hatch cut into the ceiling past the truss in the future and I’ll run the line outside then.

That sucks.

That sucks.

Agreed. Think I’m going to fill the tank anyway…..for a leak test at least. Going to reach out to my contractor about cutting a 2nd access hatch into the ceiling.

I had the same problem here, cant get writh in 12-15’ of the tank wall. Extra access will be nice for future too. Otherwise you might be able to pull it off with some electrical fish sticks and a flex bit?

So I had to look up electrical fish sticks 😂
Yeah something like that might work, but having the space for access is going to be key because once I fill her up I won’t be able to get into the current crawl space access point.

She’s finally getting wet. Feels like it’s taken forever just to get to this stage of final leak testing.

It’s alive! Looks great, and you have put a lot of thought into the build.

Nice man! Scape looks great.

I really like all that open space, gonna look awesome!

 

[deaclauderdale]

Thanks everyone. Added my booster pump that’s been in the closet for 6 months. PSI was at around 60 and now I have it set to 75. TDS going in 256, before DI 11, after DI a beautiful 0.

Playing around with the MP40’s, forgot how to program them…lol

I see good flow in 3/4’s maybe 80% of the tank.

Also 2 of the Vortechs slipped when I went 100% for tidal swell mode. Not happy about it, but not the end of the world I guess.

Well she’s up and running. Added a couple of media reactors as well. Was going to change the plumbing color but then I realized it was 3x the cost of what I paid for the reactors themselves.

A quick vid of the Bean Animal. Is this the right amount of trickle?

Let me know when you see it.

Would have been a disaster had I had livestock in the tank. I am surprised at the drop in PH along with the increase of ORP and Salinity in relation to what happened.

What caused it? temp sensor, programming or outlet stayed on?

I inadvertently cut the temp probe when adding some plumbing.

Ok, that's too bad, but good you won't have a controller issue that might come back when you have livestock in it. I do run a second temp sensor off a PM module so if one goes erratic (usually you can tell by looking at graph) you can edit your program to follow other temp sensor. I also have my heater program,
If Tmp < 77.0 Then ON
If Tmp > 77.9 Then OFF
If Tmp < 70.0 Then OFF
Similar fail safe in my chiller program with alerts text and email when it's out of range.
If there is a prolonged power outage and temps do get that far out of the normal range, you will have to over ride the heater/chiller to come back online as needed. I have had a few temp sensor fail and was able to catch it. One on my ReefKeeper and another on my AquaControler3 back in the day.

I thought you could only select one temp sensor per heater. I’ll have to look into how to program the heaters to both sensors.
