Any special reason you're in israel?

[Heathd]

[FLESHY]

$20 a pound.

Go feesh.

 

[Heathd]

At the airport, about to board the plane in a few hours. This build is going to be resuming shortly.....

 

[Heathd]

This is what happens when I get bored in Canada. Doing the layout for my new aquarium build. Still have more components to design.

 

[FLESHY]

Haha lookin good buddy...cant wait to see actual progress and less of this goofy picture business.

 

[Heathd]

Pictured in there is the proposed design for the algae scrubber I was talking about.

 

[Heathd]

Need to get about another 20-30 lbs of sand, and then get some glass cut for the sump. Also need to do a leak test again, but I feel confident that the bulkhead is tight enough.

Some more progress on the wall. At this point, im done. Im not touching that God forbidden thing ever again.

 

[FLESHY]

Awesome...I would have liked some more structure on the right hand side...but it still is really well done.

Glad to see you have using a coarser sand.

I now think I see your design for the scrubber...ver interesting. Lets get this thing filled already. Feels like you have been doing this for years.

 

[Heathd]

Courser sand, yes, but I'm still doing a DSB.... BWAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAHA

I do think a really fine grain sand is awesome for microfauna, but its just a pita when something agitates it. My blenny, for whatever reason, pulls a chinchilla and takes sand baths from time to time.

And im working on getting it filled up. Trying to think of something crazy I can do with the rock formation. Something that will allow me to keep lps, sps, and softies.... but in a defined manner such that I dont have to worry about them fighting each other.
