Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

Awesome, i have seen external ballasts at Ace, they arent very big but they are powerful. Yours HAVE to be in order to power those lamps. good choosin on the rubbermaids. and i think ill go with the cheapest. 55 gallons should cost about 13.75 at southwest. thats 2 dollars and 50cents for a ten gallon water change! Do they sell the water in gallon milk jug type things? OOOh theres my solution. Thanks Sarah now im excited.
 
Oh no thats ok! 1: you might need them to transport water from the large containers to the aquarium. 2: I would like my own anyways, so they will fit my needs. Like wheels so that i can get it all back to my room. But thanks
 
Boxes! Boxes! Everywhere!! LOL

I love it!! I'm so jealous. Wanna adopt me? :mrgreen: jk

Can't wait to see it all set up and running. GAWD thats gonna be cool!!!
 
Thanks for the update. good choice on the lights. As for the bulb Kelvin ratings you will figure out where you want to be. Hope the 10K work for you. should be really nice.
 
Here's my update for Friday. Yesterday, Neal started to hook up the RODI unit. He continued to work on that tonight. By the time he went to bed (around 15 minutes ago), this is how far that mini-project had come:

Yes! He unpacked it from the box and laid all the parts out on the kitchen counter! Go Neal! My god, at this rate, it'll be years before I have water in my tank. It'll be like the "JermPool's 125" thread all over again!
 
I wouldnt wanna work it either with a nagging female looking over my shoulder.:mrgreen:

Just had to throw that in there.
Biff,you gonna have a killer set up.
I am going to request that once you got water in that you pose for another pic inside the tank,wearing a thong:Cheers:
 
Well I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass on the pictures of me in my tank underwater. Sorry, boys.

Neal does do a good job helping me out. I would not have been able to do any of this without him (I can't even lift the lights on my own). I'm very grateful to have his help; he is the best friend I've ever had and I love him very much. In fact right now, he is off at the LFS picking up my bulkheads for me. I really don't know why he has remained such a good friend to me, after all that has happened. Nothing can explain it, except that he is just a really really good guy. We have had a good time working on this new tank project together, and I hope that we can continue to remain friends after this whole divorce mess. Losing his friendship would be the worst thing that could ever possibly happen to me. Maybe he feels the same way about me, and that is why he has stuck around to help me out, as a friend, through everything. I guess it just goes to show that sometimes between two people, there is an even deeper bond than husband and wife, that the bond between best friends can trascend even that level. And that there are more important things that we have between us than our marriage, namely, a very strong friendship.

Okay now that you guys have got me all emotional and crying, I'm going to get back to silicone-ing the mesh onto my overflows...
