Thanks bud. I still have the tooling for the light shroud and tray if you want a fuge when we build yours. Don’t let that limit your imagination though.

The tank is on the stand and I pick up my new pentair 40 watt Saturday. The list is getting pretty short so I think I can start breaking down my current setup a week from Sunday.

It’s glue day. Dry fit mostly done I’m still waiting on a gate valve for carbon reactor, tray for under the uv ect. I’ve assembled looked and change my mind, added, removed, swapped, Been to fw Webb ten times, back to the shop a couple times, lost important stuff. Have buckets of stuff I’ll never use, still have 4 braces to fabricate ect ect ect Fun. here’s some picks, if I’ve missed something please let me know.

Looks awesome! I chose a modular marine overflow as well and I'm very happy with the build quality.

There’s no rush. I’ll help you build it whenever your ready. Not to mention you may wanna wait till after the leak test

Leak test day

then closed the fuge gate

got two leaks both flowsensor thread seals. I used silicone I guess I’ll swap that for tape Side from that she is tight dry and ready for action

Your plumbing skill is leagues above me. Very nice touch on the carbon fiber top sump?
when I see carbon fiber, I see a car guy.

Man living aboard is commitment. I’m happily living in a marina. Staying onboard during edgertown raceweek was enough for me

Been livingaboard for 5 years now i guess. Mostly at anchor. Maybe a year in a marina total over the 5 years doing this. Its probably the best thing i ever did with my life. I do maybe 10-12 deliveries a year and boatwork.
I doubt i ever go back to living on land
I went from living in a mansion to living on a 30 ft boat
