+olaggie01 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Yep, I think we've all had a day where nothing goes right with a project and multiple trips to the hardware store ensues. So the tank has a crate, but does the tank itself exist yet? If so I think we need some pics! The tank and sump are done. I'll have to ask Felix for a finished pic. I've seen a few of the tank and sump but not a finished product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Once in a blue moon I read the title to the thread and click on it dreaming that you're giving it away to me! Hope you get that tank soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Ok, explain to the noob here what cpvc is? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk It's that other type of pvc fittings you see at Home Depot that is beige in color and doesn't seem to fit any of your pieces of schedule 40 PVC... no matter how hard you push it together.

Christyef Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Ok, explain to the noob here what cpvc is? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk CPVC is basically pvc rated for a higher temperature. It's Off white w/ yellow writing or grey and thicker. The glue for the yellow is one can and no primer where as normal pvc glue requires primer and glue. The grey cpvc has a two can process industrial strength grey glue and any primer can be used. Cpvc is used on residential water heaters a lot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reburn Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Very good explanation of cpvc. It's also referred to as the devil. Why it's on your water softner is anyone's guess. It doesn't need it and it shouldn't be there. As far as your tank, talk is cheap......if I had a dollar for every time I hear my tank is shipping soon I'd have a bunch of dollars. Felix is a good guy and it's definitely worth the wait. The oh so long day dragging wait. I'll believe it when I see pictures of the tank getting on the truck.

+olaggie01 Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Thanks for the description of the cpvc. Thankfully I read it this morning and not last night or I might have had nightmares again. True about the tank. We will see when it actually gets loaded. I'm out of town this week so I'm not too concerned. I'd like to get it wet by June so time is ticking (of course I think I said that in March and April and May) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+olaggie01 Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Going through my equipment trying to figure out what I need to have and what I should sell I think for lights and skimmer I'm set. I've got a kalk reactor, a liter meter 3 with extra pump head, a bunch of Tunze pumps, profilux controller, 2 biopellet reactors, couple of GFO/carbon reactors.

+olaggie01 Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 I think to start I'll just use the kalk to keep up with alk/ca. Once the demand increases I'll use 2 part. Maybe with the DOS/DDR Combo or liter meter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+OU12004 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 If patience is a virtue, you must be a very virtuous person. I am really interested to see how this build comes along with all of the planning you have done, it should be incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolt Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Supposedly Felix does not like Chris to lead him by more than 4 weeks, so this is a good sign! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+olaggie01 Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Felix said everything is done. Just need to be around to accept it. Hoping for the 27th to ship Hard to get fussy about a free tank.
