600 Gallons System - i2ik's Journal

Re: 600 Gallons System - i2ik's Journal

When did PPG start shipping 3/4" staphire? Or is this laminated to make 3/4" I thought only Torrenston (sp?) only made low iron glass thicher than 12mm?

When did PPG start shipping 3/4" staphire? Or is this 2 pieces laminated to make 3/4"? I thought only Torrenston (sp?) was one of the only companies that currently manufacture low iron glass thicher than 12mm?

Wow ! :eek1:

Can't wait to see the progress of your tank i2ik !

Went to WorldFish on the weekend and I saw your old cube tank :)

This one is going to be awesome, no doubt !

P.S.: When I buy a house in a couple of years, you'll be ready to sell me your 600g tank right ;)

250G - AO just recently was able to start producing PPG 3/4" starfire. It was no bigger than 1/2" before as you mentionned. For more details, maybe someone from AO could tell you more :) I was a lucky one. At first it was going to be low iron glass, but Will told me that he could now get a 3/4" starfire glass for my tank so i could not refuse :)

Ginzo - Thanks! My cube is going Zeovit very soon :) About the tank, we will see in a couple of years ;)

Tank is supposed to arrive at 17:30, i will be posting for sure when i got the chance! :D
 
The tank finally arrived!!!!

The tank finally arrived!!!!

What a hard day! got to make appointment for delivery and the guys arrived one hour before so we started to put down the tank into the driveway. No need to say, it was damn heavy with 5 of us to just push it. So then, waited until the guys come and it was really hard but we finally make it safe. I will check the tank tomorrow if there is any problem with it, but up to now, i havent seen any problem and will probably wont have any too. I have to say that i am really impressed of how it build! Everything is well done, the silicone, the polish glasses and the most impressive is my starfire glass! Its absolutely beautiful!!! I also got some of my component ;) Check this out :

Oh yeah, here in montreal, it was quite cold and our fingers are about to fall off even with gloves and all

My good friends that came to help me out! Most of us are right in the middle of our midterms session so i am very grateful for them to help me out today! We were 12 peoples but even with 12 peoples, going up the stairs and trying to fit it in the door was not an easy job, especially in this weather.

Here's the tank in place. Still a lot of fingerprints on it, have not got the time to clean it, also got some snow in it since it was snowing a bit here in Montreal.

What is coming?

My sump and reservoir.:)
 
Simply amazing !!!! :eek1:

Incredible setup, I love all your equipement and tank !!
You must have the best setup on the island of Montreal ! :D

Btw, did you win the 6/49 or something ? :eek2:
 
Thanks Ginzo! :)

Since i cant do DIY, i had no choice of buying my stuff. I think its better to buy something that you wont have to change later on, must as well get what you think is the best ;)

I did not win the lottery, going to school and learn stock market a bit which is part of the program... :) Since i am still with my parents until my studies are done, it helps a lot not having lots of responsabilities such as house, family and all.
 
Very nice choice on equipment and setup. I bet you are excited!! :) Im excited for you. :) :)

Oh.. i have to send you those pics of the Schuran 2.
 
Hey Edward, Thank you! Hell yeah, i am excited! :D Just waiting for the sump and then i could start doing more.

For the schuran 2, somehow i got the instruction in my boxes so i dont think i will have trouble connecting it, if so, i will contact you for that :) Thanks a lot!

Sounds good. Why dont you fill the tank with water and do a test leak for now?
 
Sure, i will have to do a test leak, but first i need to put those jackpost in the garage. There is one jackpost for now, i need to put a second one before doing that. Hopefully, maybe tomorrow! :)
 
must have been a good day waiting for tank arrival, can't wait to get mine this friday..i will be tagging along for the ride on this one...keep up the good work and don't forget pics
