It's been a while since I updated this project, but got some cool stuff this last week I just wanted to show off.
First off, I have been working with Felipe at Fin-Addict on getting the tank resealed and replacing a scratched panel of glass. Basically I am going to replace what is currently the back with a new piece of glass. This will then become the front of the tank so I can flip the return and have it on the left. I will have 3 holes drilled in the old front for 2 returns and a drain for the OM 4-way. Still figuring out pricing at this point. If the repair is too expensive I am just going to buy a new 180g (72x24x24) tank and have it euro-braced and drilled at the factory.
Most of the delay up to this point has been due to the fact I have tore out all the carpet in this and several other rooms to replace with hardwood flooring. Here you can see a shot of where the tank is going. Still a lot of work ahead of me, as there will be cabinetry built around the tank.
But on to the goodies...
I just unpacked my skimmer I scored on RC for the new setup. It is a 9 month old Deltec AP851. Everybody raves about these and I can see why, very nice construction. I can't wait to see what kind of crap it pulls out of the water. Also in the shot is the OM 4-way I bought from local ARC member. Now if I can get the tank situation figured out, I should be on my way.
