[RobupstateNY]

Ya i was told by dispatch on Tuesday the tank would arrive the following Monday morning.
Thursday morning it showed up lol
Real nice job on the freight loading and unloading.
The skid, and all 3 boxes were all in perfect condition. Glad my wife was home to sign for sure.

Nice build!
Does IM ship tanks with the glass lip around the top now? Or was yours custom
Also do you run your inkbirds in series or is one for a cooling fan?

Eurobraced is standard on this tank and the 200 also. not sure about smaller tanks. I run redundant heaters. 1 of the inkbirds does heating and a cooling fan on the sump. here are a few new pics from work done last night.

Love how you built them out for room behind them I never thought of that. Of course I've never really mounted stuff perfectly nice and have only ghetto rigged mine!

clear for takeoff. relocated EPS down to the basementI cut an outlet into the wall which is fed from the ecoflow EPS. I now have power to everything except UV. i’ll snake all probes down to modules once the system is wet.

Looks super clean! Now I know where to get help on my next control board.

Here are a few pictures of my Ecoflow EPS 1250W should be able to run my return pump and gyres for about 6 hrs if I have calculated this correctly

Corey how do they hook in? I see those metal angle brackets do the front panels screw into them or slide/hook into them?

well water test with my plumbing went well but new sump had a hairline crack in it which was not discovered until water was put in. About 5 gallons of water on the hardwood. 30 towels a sump pump and lists of scrambling let’s just say. Fan has been blowing on the floor and sump areas since 7:00 1/14/25. I left the paper on the bottom to protect the surface . If I took it off I would have seen this ahead of time. (Life Lesson) Reached out to SWA. Now I have to wait until after the holiday for a response. Hopefully Ken and his team at SWA make good with Bashsea . #progressstopped

Sorry to hear it was coming a long so nicely!! Hopefully no damage was done to anything else and you can get going again shortly!

 

[FishieBusiness]

That SUCKS Corey. Sorry to hear about it.

Gotta suck putting the tank on hold but it will also give you time to plan out more things that we always overlook. Keep on reefing

 

[daves-reef]

That really does suck, I just started filling for my water test. Yet your pain taught did teach me something,
I was filling the tank first but now realized not to leave sump dry to end.

Latest update l, Bashsea is sending out a new sump Body to replace the one damage during shipping. SWA and Bashsea are both top notch. Just awaiting it to ship once received I can get back at it and try this water test thing again
