Sweet we gotta ride. I am on my bike every sat and sun as soon as it gets over 50. I ride at least 10k miles every year. I can't live without it ; )
 
I'm not sure what okonomiyaki is, but it sure looks good :hungry:

I'd bet you'd get a lot of people to hep move your tank with some of that, lol.

Also, I can't believe these goofs from "Chicago" don't know what a wet beef is ?!?! What's the matter with you people ?!!?

Aside from the food...I'm diging your build and your plumbing looks pretty good to me :)

Sounds sweet, Keep us updated with pics!
 
Tank is set up. Cycling. Some leaks from threaded joint and fixed. Added cycle booster oh man it was expensive! the water is cloudy still. My phones juice run out right when I was ready to take pics. Will do tonight ; )
 
Wow, amazing stuff. And the ball valve is nothing, lol. If that's your one mistake, you're golden. Every fish project of mine involves at least one mistake.
Question about the valve. I am turning the ball valve little bit to control the flow and trying to set so water level won't go up or down. It's **** hard to keep it stable... should I change it to gate valve? or just be patient and adjust the ball valve? will it settle if I get it right?
 
On a pump your size using a ball valve will be a lot more challenging since it's not as easy to control. I used ball valves on all my setups, but the biggest I've had has been a 50 gallon.

I adjust it in the morning and when I come home its about half inch high. It's slowly going up better then going down. I guess I will keep adjusting it till it gets stable. Really pain in the ***!
 
I moved everyone in the tank last night! Everyone seem to love it. I made lots of caves for eels but they like to be in the same hole together. I bought 8" big female Farmosa and she is so beautiful! Mappa got ich again and not doing well... I think the clown tang brought it....

Thanks! I just bought bunch of fish from a guy getting rid of tank. I was planning not to get clown trigger but she's so docile and never shows any aggressions. Weird thing is she's got yellow face instead of yellow mouse and black face. also the white marking on the half bottom of the body got black spots inside of the white circle some looks like heart and some looks like a skull pattern. I googled but never seen anything like this.
