I just have a small update that I forgot to post on reefaddicts. The project is on hold for now until my wife and I decide if we are going to move again. I found out on New Year’s Eve that I am going to be a father so the tank is taking the backseat for now.
I received my chiller which I got a steal on. I haven’t had a chance to try it out but hopefully soon. When I got it the display was not where it was suppose to be but I don’t think anything was damaged. It just sits in the opening.
Now the plan is to have the chiller under one of the 20 gallon tanks. I won’t be able to have it like this unless I cut the back out so the door can close.
I will most like keep it on the side like shown bellow. I will have two fans in the stand to keep the air flowing. I will most likely have one blowing in and one blowing out but we will see. I will install a panel to keep the warm air out of the sump area. The panel will be removable so I can access the side of the sump.
I also got my drawer faces. I bought them on ebay for 3 bucks each. After shipping the total was $22.00.
Now I need to find doors again seeing mine disappeared after UPS dropped them off at my door. Not sure if someone picked them up or what. The seller doesn’t have any more doors matching my criteria but he is going to keep a look out for me. I just got my refund today. I might just make my own doors now.
For Christmas I got three 1.5 inch true union valves as well. I think I will just have enough room to elbow the pvc to the pump but it will be tight for I have to reduce the 1.5 to 1 inch at the pump.
