PM on the foxface

Jeff, Ryan, John, Michael, Scott Thanks

Lots of very good points. Very useful info guys! I'll start to contact some of those sources.

So is this the kind of job that would take a full week-end from digging to compacting? Or would you plan for more time? Just trying to decide on timing for renting equipment. The area of work is about 10 feet wide and 35 feet long.

So do I take it that the crushed concrete idea is not so good ? See link in previous post.

Does this look reasonable to you guys?

Cool John!

Thanks Ryan lots of good info. HD does rent those, they look like fun toys , but not sure how long the fun lasts (wife)

I would remove dirt to make the area level. If you add dirt it could shift and the you have the same problem again. Yeah 3/4 minus should be OK' date=' but it can be done.[/quote']

 

That makes sense. I was actually wondering how much I would have to work to try leveling the place by adding dirt and of course how stable that would be.

 

By "3/4 minus should be OK, but it can be done" do you suggest using something else that would be more suitable?? Or just trying to confuse me...(scratch)

Great thanks for replies.

so you would recommend going for gravel, especially if I am not sure will keep that thing for a long time (which is the case). Cost is always an issue but durable and not a source of problem is probably teh biggest one here. Would you do Sand + Gravel or just plain gravel.

If going for concrete what kind of cost would I be looking at? RV is about 24ft long.

The area in question is not leveled at all it has a gentle slope to one side so I gues the first step would be to dig it up and level it with more dirt

Then dump gravel 3/4" (is that the grain size or the layer size) How thick of a layer do you put?. Can you rent the compactors at HD?

As you can see I am very naive about the all thing...

My mother in law just bought an RV and we want to park it by my house. The spot in question is currently covered with grass.

Does anyone have experience in building a driveway for an RV. What should we be looking for, can we do it ourselves or shoudl we contract someone. Would dirt and gravel do it or should it be concrete etc..?

If anyone has info or knows anything about it please dive in as she is getting that thing this week-end

The electrician did not play with any of the circuits or breakers. He just looked at my box and told me I had plenty enough to run all my lights and pumps. He probably meant splitting my lights on different circuits. Which I am currently doing with extension cords but one line is out of the fish room so I would have to run a permanent wire there maybe from the back of the room. One more hole to drill I guess. (probably not the last one)

bluecheese, what is the breaker rated for and what gauge wire and length did he install for it? Does the breaker have ground fault or GFCI protection? Check you ballast, hopefully it will have the power requirements on it, IE 110V and 4A or something like that. I need to know that as well and I can tell you if he set you up correctly.

 

A electronic 400W ballast pulls about 3.5 amps, and an HQI ballast can pull as much as 5.5 amps. A standard 400W ballast pulls about 4A.

 

I'm guessing you may have a 15A breaker? With three 400s on you are drawing at least 12A so adding any extra light and you inly have 3A to spare. Do you have 300W of VHOs?

Cobalt, it's a 15A breaker not sure if it has GFCI protection. But I added a GFCI plug in the room. The Double HQI is rated at 9A and then I have 400 W VHOs. I have been able to split my electric on 2 circuits but I am still short for the 3rd 400W. So what you say makes sense. What do you recommend?

Here is a shot in between storms

Great progress Jay.

This will look awesome once everyone starts working on it.

Hry Jay, is this from Bob's tank?

I am interested in Acro Tortusa and Purple Cap (2 frags at $15 that's cheaper than 1 frag!!) (laugh)

Yes DRained, it. Moved it. Consulted. Refilled. Consulted. Added Sand. Consulted. Added Rocks. Consulted. Plumbed the sump. Pumps. Top off.

Then I added almost all my LR and corals that survived the crash and 1 fish. And after 1 week the rest of the fishes that survived the crash.

During the transition I set-up the rail and put temporary lights in the old canopy until we are ready to encase the tank.

the wood panels still need to be adjusted and framed and the doors (made by Sol) added. And my Ca2+ reactor needs to be turned on.

For now 1/2 of my livestock that survived the crash (in the holding tank) seems to be recovering and signs of new growth are there.

Most of my Beautiful fishes are gone, so I am slowly repleating them. I got a Goby from Scott (Spectra) and a Mandarin and a Tang from Curtis (Cocker98). The Goby behaved himself originally but he is now responsible for the sand storm you can see in the pictures below

A few of the big SPS did not make it either, but some of them were fragged and there is hope the frags might recover. I especially miss my purple tip Acro and that nice thick branch yellow birdnest I got from Izzypop. This was a quick grower.

I am still fighting with wattage as anything above 1200W of lights seem to trip the circuit. Right now I am splitting frtom two different circuits but it does not seem right. My electrician originally told me I had more than enough to sustain all those watts but I am not so sure anymore. Do other people have the same problems. Did you have to upgrade? Or just split ...

It had a LEAK?!?!?! or she decided she wanted it moved "just a hair that-a-way" ?!?!?

Bingo!!

She said: Don't you think we should move it a tad more to the left!! DOH!(wife)(threaten)(nutty)(enforcer)(flame)(daz)(cussing)(booboo)(gavel)(comp)

Well a tad was about a foot!(puke)

You guys are Funny!!

Well I filled with regular H20...no leak

I emptied the tank and filled with Saltwater, sand and a couple pieces of LR...No leak

Two days later ...

My wife comes in the room to look at the tank and that's when ...(wife)DOH!
