180 peninsula build

I love what you've done with that overflow. How did you actually attach it so the whole thing just doesn't topple over? What is that foam stuff you used? I've seen other people do similar things with it. I'm thinking of doing something similar but finding it over here...Can you take a picture of teh can so I can show it to my my father-in-law - then I can cart him down to the hardware store to find it. :)

And what do you use to stick the sand on?
 
i went over tonight to see the setup, the overflow eggcrate/foam set up is even nicer in person. glad to see you started a post on RC demonic!!
 
Yeah, I couldnt forget to post here. Just wanted to wait till I was later in the project to do it. I will take a pic today sometime since I have the camera back for now. I really need to get started on that desk so I can start mounting my electrical stuff.

Thanks. To attach it I used zip ties to the overflow slots. For the foam I just used great stuff, common stuff at any hardware store. As for making the sand stick I used Epoxy Resin I picked up from Hobby Lobby. Here is a pic..

It worked pretty good.

Looking good.



Did you get your box from me?

I did, thanks again. I just ordered the Bulk Reef Supply Dual GFO/Carbon reactor. Will hook that up today and start running it soon.
 
Couple of updated pics. I am currently building the desk that will go next to the tank. Below that houses the ATO tank, and this is where all the chemicals, food, etc will go.

Thanks. Its a lot more time consuming than I thought. If I could stay off RC then I am sure I would be done by now. :D
 
I am thinking of covering it with something. Maybe different monti caps. We shall see. Corals will start going in next week. Need to get some more fish and finish up the desk. Then onto the skinning of the stand and canopy.
 
Ok, I am at a standstill with mounting, or where to mount stuff. I want most of the stuff visible so I can see without having to open cabinets up. So I need some ideas. I need to incorporate a CPU, and 19" LCD, Reefkeeper elite, JBJ ATO, DJ power strip(probably going to mount below the desk). I still want to leave some room on the desk to allow for logging manually, fragging, etc. Open to ideas. My head hurts, LOL Here is a pic, lemme know if you need more....

Here are a couple of pics. I am trying to figure out the camera along with trying to figure out the RKE. Both seem impossible....
First pic is an ORA appleberry.
Second pic is a Rainbow Prostata

pics dont do justice to either of those corals, especially the appleberry.

i checked my prostata when i got home and its getting a bit of polyp extension on the other side demonic.
