34g solana bta build

[tatuaje08]

so as some of you know i collect btas and have even been known to farm them from time to time. i'm building a new bta tank from the ground up. i'll be trying some things i've never done before, so it should be interesting (entertaining.)

first, here's a stand i recently finished for Markcle. it turned out great so i just wanted to show it off.

and here's the start of the 34g stand. it measures 24x24x38. yes, i like tall stands. next up will be the trim and the doors.

[Rippinfrags]

Nice! do you have any pictures of your current bta farms? do you have any bta's with crazy colors?

Yes, I have a lot of colored ones. Have a current lead on a yellow one. No photos right now. Will wait for the new tank.

 

[Junktown]

WhT light will you be using?

 

[tatuaje08]

Maxspect razor r420r. Either the 60w or 120w.

i've got holes.

cut a perfect hole right through one of our good towels. i'm going to blame it on one of the dogs. don't tell the wife.

 

[zrogst]

Drilled on the bottom, eh? Interesting

 

[tatuaje08]

Going for the sleek look. Nothing sticking out of the back.

Darth durso......

Get it? Because it's all black?

 

[tatuaje08]

Got it plumbed. I'll trim the durso and return lines once I have the overflow built. Each each union has a ball valve on the other end to shut off the water if needed. That is the closed loop.

 

[Dre59]

Very interesting plumping... What size return pump will you be using?

 

[tatuaje08]

Thinking about a sicce 2 for the return and a sicce 1 for the closed loop.

Made some more progress. Stand is finished. Overflow installed , eggcrate done. Next up...quikrete! Should be interesting as I've never done this before.
