My Deep Blue Pro 80 Upgrade

mishmaster said:
When you transfer all the livestock over are you keeping the same sand and water and rocks. Are you going to replace stuff or add more rocks? What's your game plan on that?

everything will be transferred over excluding the substrate...I will be adding new substrate today once the salt has fully mixed...

thanks man....yeah, I need work on the noise some...I'm extremely impressed with the Eheim 1262 pump. I was thinking that with all the 90 degree elbows (6), the union bulkhead and 9-10ft of running 3/4" PVC that I would need to run it at full throttle but I actually needed to throttle it down some...
 
dang it........just realized I didn't shift the sump far enough over to the left to leave room for my 10G ATO...........short by 3/8"..........I'm a:jerk:
 
just checked SG.....1.025 first shot.... :thumb: .....will check again in a couple hours.....

time to watch Big Hero 6 with the kids now.....will start substrate addition afterwards..... :mario:
 
substrate in..........(man I hate adding sand to tanks)

Awesome job! So jealous of sump rooms.

thanks man....and yeah, I was always envious of those with "fish rooms"....never had the opportunity to have one until we moved to this house.
No more bending down, inside a small cabinet space to do maintenance...

I also wouldn't have been able to have a compatible sized sump for this larger tank since the cabinet only has room for a 20H in the center...so the big bonus was being able to upgrade the tank size... :woohoo:
 
Alright alright alright . Hey i need cool shrooms where u buy yours at need some more color in teh tank
 
any day now......any day......

so at 1 am last night (or was that this morning?) when I finally finished dealing with adding the substrate, I decided to run a Fluval 303 canister filter loaded up with filter floss and carbon....tank seems to be clearing up nicely now:
