  1. 1000Gal--Part 8 (Cabinetry)---Sorry for the Delay part 6 and 7 will be posted later

    Well...........Sorry folks there has been a lot going on and the blogs kinda got put on the back burner. My deepest apologies but we are back on track. Boy oh boy do we have a lot to cover, but we will do this in future blogs. The short and sweet, I moved, I purchased a business, I'm 3 remodels deep, I signed 2 new accounts, lots going on so bear with me on timing. Ok now to cover this blogs topic of the new cabinetry.

  2. Update 8/17

    By now I suppose we’ll call this aquascape v2.6?
    I decided to swap out the top rock on the left with a large, much flatter rock. I was concerned with coral placements; they really wouldn’t have any place to go with only being 2”-3” from the top… This gives every one a little more room. The rock was drilled and threaded onto the PVC pin thats part of the cave base rock below.

    As of 8/15

  3. 1000Gal---Leaking bulkhead repair and replacement

    So the last blog consisted of some pictures of a leaking bulkhead..........yeah a little scary. To make matters worse this bulkhead was on a closed loop system, so no overflow. Yes panic ensued.

    The leak was caused by yours truly. While removing the remainder of the plumbing on the species systems I lost my balance and fell right back into the ball valve that sits underneath the tank.

  5. 1000Gal---Current Livestock List

    So as I start to write this I am about 20 hours away from breaking ground on this project. Honestly, the excitement is gone and the dread is beginning. I went by to feed tonight and give a quick tour and scope of the project to the hired help. The idea sounded so good in my head, but now that I actually have to do the work................................................ KK sob story over.
