Fishoutofwater Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 last bit of black. And flex seal inside the whole bottom. In case anyone didn’t know flex seal smells horrible when using it lol. crimsonvice and Joe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepin’ No it’s actually an epoxy floor coating called rock solid floor coating. it self settles after you put it down into a marbled look. It was pretty pricy to put down, but the only thing I would change is I would have went thicker with it. Which would have been even more $. Half of my basement is done with it.

Joe Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 @Fishoutofwater did you leak test you storage tanks? I’ve gotten two in a row that’s leaked on me. I’m calling the company that made them before I take this next one back to the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishoutofwater Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 I haven’t yet, no. I’m close to hooking everything up. Finally got water supply tie-in connected. Had to wait till I had the time to do it, and the wife was gonna be gone long enough to not need any water lol. Believe I have all my fittings I need now. I’m not sure how to leak check it without glueing a valve on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishoutofwater Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Poured out the last of my flex seal in the bottom of the stand last night. Just wanted to add some thickness and fully level out plywood seam on the bottom. Now trying to nail down my parts list for hanging my lights. I don’t want to drill into the concrete wall for brackets, and I don’t want to drill into the ceiling either. I just got done filling in holes from dust curtains and painting the ceiling.

Fishoutofwater Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 finally got a sump for the tank. Thanks @crimsonvice . I have some mods I want to do to it before I fully get it set in there. She is a super tight fit. I’m not going to want to pull it out later to mess with it unless necessary. crimsonvice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishoutofwater Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 So I’ve finally got some time to do some work. Had the wife take an ambien so I could make noise all night lol. Got the header board / light hanging wall started. Don’t have enough boards to cover and Menards isn’t open all night. I also got my RODI rocking and everything is working good and no tank leaks that I have seen @Joe. Just have to do some thread tape in a couple spots and then I think I can secure all my hoses up.

But I think you get the gist. Got some work done. Rather than reload and repost I just quoted myself. And also have my rocks in water.

Fishoutofwater Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 got a lot done today. Light rack is painted and mounted back on. Also got wiring 90% done. Just need a couple things yet. I’ve even left routes for PAB cables and spots for Powerbars. Waiting on my profilux to arrive. crimsonvice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
