that is some awesome plumbing! what glue did he use to unions to the pipe? that's so cool.
been tagging along for a while. great build. i don't think i'd have the nerve to silicone a tank together. especially one this big.
keep the pics coming

Thank you!
dantimdad is right it's a plastic welder that we use for the plumbing

seriously I would never have the nerve either... but have got a boyfriend that is REALLY good at everything DIY.. I'm so lucky hihihi

:lol2:

no rush, but can you post pictures as you install the plumbing. most people just do a before and after but i like the professional aspect of your build.
thanks
i love this build.

Out of curiosity, will the second durso be able to take on the extra flow if one gets plugged up for some reason?

Hi everyone,
sorry if I didn't put any update at all this week, but we found a deal for a trip in Cuba that we couldn't pass :wildone:

So I just came back this morning from our 5 days vacations
we did a lot of snorkeling and saw amazing things!! (octopus, eels, and more!)
it was sooo nice!!

here some pictures and 2 video just for fun

yes it will be able to take the extra flow should this situation happen

Very creative and impressive plumbing. This is the true definition of attention to detail. Not to mention the L shape tank...

 

[tipou]

So now that we're back home the project continue!!

we started to put the plumbing together

 

[dahenley]

WOW!!! all the plumbing makes perfect since now. not to mention how beautiful it is. seeing things like this makes me wish i would have done things way slower and in a totally different way.

 

[backdraft79]

God I love how you tank is coming together!

This has to be the best overflow box set up I have ever seen!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 

[purebullet417]

are you going to leave the pipes just hanging like that? im not sure if i would let all that weight from the water be supported by the overflow box bulkheads. to me it just seems like a disaster waiting to happen. youll be surprised how much water that pipe can hold and how heavy it can get.

 

[barnabus's gimp]

yeah I was thinking the same thing, seems like it would need some sort of brace.
