Thats a shame that guy is going to be in a garage. Are you converting the garage to some sort of mancave at least, Steve? lol. Regardless, that should be a killer tank when its finally running.

Dude I am SO jealous! And nobody's gonna see those holes in the ceiling once you're filled and stocked. You've done a first class job, and I think the garage is a great place to set up a system of such magnitude!
My only question though, what are you gonna do about water changes? If you do 10% a week, that's a 2 buckets of salt a month! I'm assuming you won't be buying NSW...

Hello JAG, i am doing 50g weekly using Tunze salt. I am buying a pallet at the time to save money on shipping. I will pick up a large water storage and mix 200g at the time just incase of emergency.

Thank you so much for the kind word

]Shipment from Premium aquatic arrived today with 240lbs of Tropic Eden sand and Calcium reactor media, PFO HQI ballast. The sand look great and it super clean. I have NEVER seen sand that clean before.





Stuff from Aqua FX, Carbon and DI resin for the RODI unit



Since i am clumsy, i decided to stock up on Novus 1, 2, and 3 for future use.

Hope i have enough media for the Calcium Reactor
