Just ask them if they have the guy with the leaky truck deliver their NSW haha. He supplies pretty much every LFS that carries NSW in northern california. I used to work at Lucky Goldfish and he came once a week and refilled the reservior. I've seen him refill the one at this store in Santa Clara too.

The good news: I am moving into a house literally across the street from this place so I can just go walk and get water when I get back in January haha.

Holy crap that's a lot of weed!
Err... in the lower tank that is.

Yea ... I got this hook up for chaeto in the south bay ... he's really a great guy and an amazing reefer ... I also get home made food from him.

Looks good bro.

LMK if you have some extra time and room to demo my next idea.

Great setup! Setting up 29g myself. Check the thread and give me some pointers

I'm learning a lot from you man and I especially like your whole manual top-off system.

KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK!!!

OMG!!!! I love this tank. But I hate how it ended up taking me all day to finish this thread. But that was in between cooking, going to the mall, and eating. Very nice. I plan on upgrading to either a 20G or a 29G TruVu. I love their designs. Do you have any updated FTS?

chocolateblnt · #**660** 02/19/2007, 02:26 AM

Sorry no updates ... just letting things grow out and really trying to leave the tank alone while I'm in school. I'll get something posted once I get a job and finish the bottom.

RFC · #**661** 02/19/2007, 03:06 AM

Ive been following your tank thread since the beginning. Very nicely done ! Just wondering how you like your chiller. I may have to purchase one this summer for my 29G.

thanks

The chiller is perfect ... my max variance in temperature is 79.4 ~ 81.9 which was recorded by a temp. probe. It's really quiet too.

Hey hows the viaqua return pump going along? Is it noisy and do you recommend it for someone on the budget?

Thankss

chocolateblnt · #**664** 02/24/2007, 08:56 PM

The Via Aqua is undetectable noise-wise. I recommend it for a return pump but never as a power head.
