That's pretty impressive!!!!

Thanks! Probably overkill on the size of the pump but eventually I plan to double up on a few more of the pod bottles as I like to have two of each for redundancy and I'd love to put them all in 2.5 or 5 gallon tanks one day and I won't have to worry about running out of air!

Took a quick video while actually just sitting and looking at the tank and remembering how much fun it is to just sit and watch the tank!!!

Got some new additions the past week or two. Traded some pods and phyto for two acans

Got a dreamcatcher duncan and a nice goni from @LoveTheReef (goni is a bit annoyed as I had to move it)

 

[afboundguy]

Picked up some nice corals from @dz6t Got one of his PC Rainbow fire sale pieces, a cookie monster and a voodoo magic!!

Also started the extrusion shelf/stand expansion. Cut some custom angle pieces to hook up the two sections.

Also added a shelf above the expanded side and plan to move all the phyto and pods to that section.

 

[afboundguy]

Used some 1/4" PVC board to top off the shelving unit.

 

[afboundguy]

I had enough to redo the old "new section" that I forgot to notch out the back for the extrusion so I just slid the new piece under the old one (more difficult that you would think with all the pod cultures) and cut it.

 

[afboundguy]

Lastly, added a shelf to the top shelf. After lunch I hope to re-route the air lines (3/4" PVC pipe) so I can move the phyto and pods to the new section.

I also added some vertical supports to the shelf and secured them to the ceiling joists.

 

[afboundguy]

Was able to move the pods and phyto after reworking the PVC airlines. Still need to plug all the small heaters back in!

 

[afboundguy]

Raised the old phyto shelf and added a bunch of my LEGO car collections

Also setup some black lights and hung a backdrop I purchased a whole ago. I bought 5 or 6 of Temu for a few bucks each and this one looked the best.

It really glows when I turn off all the lights!

 

[afboundguy]

Setup a metal sign I bought of etsy months ago. I had to replace the LEDs it came with as they were glued on like crap and crappy LEDs. Ended up buying some cheap strip lights off Amazon and the color is much better.

Also changed out all my RODI pre-filters and the 3 stage resin stages with a 3D printed resin funnel kit that made it much easier!!

Ironically I actually didn't need to change the mixed resin and anion resin as the cation was the one that was getting exhausted much faster but oh well!

Do you have a print file for this? We just got a bamboo printer for the school and this would be really useful!
