Chuck's 150 Gallon Reef Project

Man, those numbers on the barrels are big! I can read them off my computer from 25 feet! Ha!

Glad to know air line will work well with an airline valve. One of these days I will add that little feature to my set up.

I've been a busy boy today.

I couldn't let the new skimmer just sit there. I decided to plumb it into one of the holding tanks for now and let it get broken in till it's needed on the new system.

2 mins after turning pump on.



GEEZ, by the time I took that pic and wrote this, the foam at the top is turning brown already.

This thing is gonna rock...................

I also made it to a dental appointment. They cleaned my teeth and made an appointment to have two teeth pulled this coming Friday morning.

I HATE DENTISTS .................

Skimmer has been running for like maybe ONE hour.

Looks like it will do the trick.

As for the dental thing, everyone told you that smoking as a kid was bad for you, lol.

[ChuckG]

Yea Yea - The dentist reminded me, My doctor reminds me, My mother reminds me. My wife gave up on me. She quit 3-4 yrs ago.

[phlounder]

Yeah, but she has a motive for giving up on you - life insurance.

[ChuckG]

This is SO true.

I've had all the insurances taken out of my checks for years. About a year ago she took some additional policies - one being a cancer policy.

Regarding the 2" x 4" wooden support pieces (#202) that are in intimate contact with the PVC pipe that is attached to your skimmer.

Are those wooden support pieces "reef safe"?

The 150 looks good.

[ChuckG]

It's the angle of the photo. No pipes are touching the wood. I would imagine the wood is not reef safe.
