Thanks, Unfortunately, the money is running out quickly. Not going to be exactly what we wanted but we will make do!

Very nice Greg. What other equipment will you be running? ie. pumps, skimmers, powerhead, reactors?

At least your tank will be up before Cody's.

That's the way it goes. I build custom homes... well I do the structured cableing and or electrical and I have noticed over the decades that remodel projects generaly run 30% over time and over projected budget. I have only seen a few exceptions to that rule of thumb.

circulation pumps - 2 Tunze stream 3's and 2 Tunze 6095s
chiller/heater/UV sterilizer - Teco
calcium reactor - Vertex
controller - Apex Gold (unless I get a new Apex)
lights - undecided

From what I have been told about it, I'm not sure it has a model number.

Yes, I have the older TR20 model. They offer the heater in the new model but I don't think they offer the UV.

Not having those issues here. Our contractor runs way faster thank expected.

Went by the house today. On Tuesday the contractor told me that he was going to have the electrical panel upgraded on Saturday. But I guess today is Saturday!

We are getting there. Tile delivered last night so they were starting on flooring today.

gcarroll · 07/27/2017, 01:58 PM

Work has slowed in the family room as the current focus is the bathrooms, windows, then flooring. All electrical wiring has been completed and walls patched and skim coated.
