My 75G FOWLR build thread. (woot)

I have the Octopus BH-800S, It works really good, takes tons of stuff out of the water. I'm happy with it.

 

[partypalooza5]

Is that a HOB skimmer?

 

[InfernoST]

Yes it is.

 

[partypalooza5]

Ah ok. I'm looking for an in sump one, mainly because I have a sump to put it in lol. But thanks though!

Update: Stand tank light and sump are now one. I have everything set up and tomorrow I'll fill it back up. I went to an LFS that I thought was pretty good today, but when we pulled up in front of the store it turns out they have been out of business for a while. They got locked out by the land lord. =(

Oh well, xD I'll try another one this weekend.

 

[fishmonkey]

aw man. that sucks.

 

[InfernoST]

Not a Good thing.

 

[partypalooza5]

Another picture less update: (sorry lol I've been a tad busy)

I got everything set up last night it's all done. Today I'll fill it and take pics. Next on the agenda is to find out if I will be getting a skimmer. If not, I'll just go and buy the sand and get that in the tank.

 

[partypalooza5]

WOO HOO!! I went to that LFS and got two awesome deals. The light was only 75 (250 new) and I also got a Tunze ATO system (regularly 200 bucks) FOR 20 BUCKS! I think that's a win. When I get everything put together I'll get some pics.

 

[thominil]

Nice!

 

[partypalooza5]

Nice!

The guy was like "eh, I could sell this for a fortune, but I'll give you a deal. How's 20 bucks?" And I was like SOLD! It works perfect I just got finished setting it up. I like how the level sensor is an infrared or laser thing instead of a float switch.

 

[Etunes]

8O8O8O DUDE, SUCH A AWSOME DEAL. Can you see if he will make you another deal. Because i will pay you an extra 20 bucks for that ATO. lol.

 

[thominil]

Sound nice also sounds like you have "everything together". Where's the pics lol.

8O8O8O DUDE, SUCH A AWSOME DEAL. Can you see if he will make you another deal. Because i will pay you an extra 20 bucks for that ATO. lol.

LOL I KNOW! I was like "ah.. he's probably gonna want a fortune for this.. it's a Tunze.." Defiantly the best store ever haha! they sold one guy a mag drive like 12 or something, it was a beast of a pump for only 60 bucks! I like this place because on (some) things they are willing to work with you.

And I'll get pics tomorrow, too much excitement for one day . Plus I need to figure out how to attach the backup float to the res so it can monitor that level. (two monitors in one! )

 

[InfernoST]

Cool, You don't hear that to often.

 

[thincat]

Sorry dude, it was just way to obvious not to say somethin. I guess if it keeps the catfish out it's doing its job. The guy that cut your wood was probably from the plumbing or blinds department. I watch them like hawk when I need for them to cut stuff, unfortunately it has been more frequently with 4 x 8's because I got rid of my truck and can't fit it in my Honda unless it's ripped in half.
With no saw how did you improvise?

This is how I haul my big stuff...No cutting for me. XD

 

[InfernoST]

This is how I haul my big stuff...No cutting for me. XD

And I thought my Honda was tight. Nice MG TC.

 

[thincat]

You should see the look I get when I tell the lumberyard to load up...
