Bracing will be added after I measure the starboard I need inside the tank. I want one piece do not want any seems. Also the weir will be installed for the 2 1 1/2" bulkhead holes.
 
Ok. Please take step by step picks if you have the time. This will help me out when I get ready to do my tank.
 
Really nice work you are doing there...... I would never trust myself to drill holes in glass like that.......:lol:

Keep us posted......:D
 
Glad to see you are quickly back on the horse! I would love to see a DIY thread down the road on how you constructed the tank.

BucWheat ,

I will try to take as many as possible :)


DerekW,

There was a trick to this I sent her and our dog to my Mom's house. What she can't see will not hurt her :)


DFL18, mmgm, mikeo1210,

Thanks for the complements:D

billpa,

It has been over 2 months now without a tank since my mishap with the 240g. I just had to fill the void :)


sixxer,

Not yet but you know me.... Big Angels are on the top of the list.


Have to get to work on the tank more updates to follow.
 
Hey hdtvguy,
What kind of sump are you planning on using for your tank? Earlier in the thread i think you mentioned it is 300g.

tanks looking good. i kind of thought you might want to sleep at mom's house. it is a good thing that we built it last night, my car is being delivered today. so i am not sure when i could have built it. are we still on for wednesday for the braces and overflows? later
 
Very cool, I am thinking hard on doing the same kind of thing not really the building of the tank but that would be the ultimate. It is a bit scary but hey somebodys gota do it and what a great experience. My hats off to you for pulling this off and I hope someday I might find the whatever to try this myself. Thanks allot for the inspiration.
 
tgunn,

I do have a 300g stock tank I can use. I may use it not sure yet.



mako56,

It really is not that bad, But I had help thanks Jayson and Kelly did a great job :) Hardest part was lifting the panes of glass up so high and keeping them steady. And of course the smell of the silicone was to much for me:rollface:


I got 2 new pumps today the first is the PCX 55 Gen -X to run two enductors on a closed loop. The second Seq Dart for closed loop ran from a OM 4 way. basically going to run 2 manifolds off the 4-way 2 of the ports will be capped. I will be able to use these at anytime if need be. Jayson at SWC talked to Paul at OM and he will be doing some mods to the drum for this application.

Still cleaning the tank up a bit more removing silicon. Starboard will be picked up and installed tomorrow. OM 4-way should be here by next week I hope.

Just curious where you got the stock tank. Feedrite carries poly/fiberglass resin tanks, but not the Rubbermaid stocks that seem so popular in the hobby.

Thanks,

They can special order them in for you. HD can get them in for you also.

That's good to know; I will have to give HD a call today and check into that.

I imagine getting them to get in a Rubbermaid stock tank is a bit easier than when I tried to get them to order a palette of southdown. :lol:
