overflow almost covered...

Hey humaguy,

What did you use to attach the rock to the overflow? I have a an 96x40x24 acrylic and I was thinking about covering the back wall with prime cuts from Marco.

 

[humaguy]

silicon...just dont get the stuff with mold inhibitors in it...
the flat back Marco rock is awesome for this job!

 

[humaguy]

Marco Dry Rock just came out with "pillar" design rock...I am the first in the country to get them...coming today, will post pics later...they are flat-bottomed, ordered 2 around 16 inches tall and 2 around 12 inches tall...excited to see them...rodi water was to be delivered today..just heard it might be put off until next week ugh...before you ask, I bought the rodi as I did not want to make it at home- too time consuming and would tax the rodi system...bought 1,000 gallons...getting closer to becoming a "real live" tank...

 

[humaguy]

Wow amazing!!!
A few questions:
1.) Are you going to cover the tank (jumpers), and if so with what?
2.) Are you going to have an ATO container under the tank? If so, how big?

I never posted pictures of the top...3 huge access ports, each 2 feet by 2 feet...the just cut the acrylic...each one must weigh 25 pounds....

 

[Monkeyfish]

Wow.

Keep those pics coming.

 

[E.intheC]

Wow is right.
Looks great. :thumbsup:

 

[humaguy]

here are the 1st four pieces of Marco Dry Rock "pillar" style rock...cool stuff...thanks Marc!

 

[humaguy]

a different angle...big pieces with lots of flat sides...

 

[humaguy]

these are the first examples of the "pillar" design from Marco Dry Rock in the country...thanks Marc!...a really cool rock for any tank...

 

[humaguy]

here is a picture of the top...lots of space..so, 3 openings, each 2 feet by 2 feet, cut out of the 1 inch acrylic...each opening weighs like 30 pounds...sorry for the condensation on the top, only freshwater in there, kinda slacking on the upkeep...

 

[humaguy]

anothe pic of the top, with flash on...each of the three openings is 2 feet by 2 feet of 1 inch thick acrylic...they are held in place by 4 pieces of 2 inch by 8 inch acrylic, 1/2 inch thick..each must weigh close to 30 pounds...

 

[humaguy]

return is making some cool patterns in the top...cool to see, easy to adjust...

 

[angelfish7]

Wow!! very nice Humaguy..can't wait to see it all finished. I love those pillars. How tall are they ? would love to put one or two in my 220. It's 30" high. btw did you glue or drill your rocks?

 

[humaguy]

the pillars run from 12 inches to sixteen inches tall....call Marc, he will hook you up...

 

[humaguy]

the flat marco dry was siliconed to the overflow....some waterweld and marcoe400 on a couple big pieces...

 

[geaux xman]

those pillar rocks are sweet! i might look into getting a few of them myself.

How is it going with the becketts? I had a skimmer with a beckett and I hated it. Perhaps it was just a crappy skimmer. Have you got it running yet? It looked like it from one of the pictures but don't know if you were just testing for leaks ..
