Tank Entry

I finished up getting all my paperwork done for quotes today. We approached 4 different vendors when it was all said and done with. I also approached Oceans Motions about design feedback given that most of the circulation is going to be done via their four-way pumps. So now we wait.

We've been keeping ourselves semi occupied by chasing down some power problems we've been having in rooms around the tank room. Kevin's trying to plan how he wants to run and control all the additional ...

I called this morning and am trying to cancel the order for the water container, so I'm just waiting to hear back from them. In the mean time while I look for a job I guess I'll do what I can on our basement renovation; such as taking debris to the dump, cleaning up, and using up any supplies ...

Last night my other half, Kevin, and I are hanging out in our basement/demo central. We were trying to make a shopping list for the hardware store so that we can finish the fishroom after the delivery of our water change tank.
