AuThoRitY's 90g Build Thread!

[Vapour1ze]

thanks, uhhh most likely in a 10 g tank, that I'm going to build a stand for, drill a hole in the top, and split the drain off the tank so it runs in to the sump and fuge, but ball valve it so I can slow it way down,,,, and then have the hole at the top so it will gravity feed back into the sump.... deep sand bed, some rubbles, and of course some sort of algae, and my clip on light from wal mart with a plant light bulb over it

Great job with the electric. I don't think I have ever seen conduit on RC. Sounds like the perfect fuge setup.

Luke,
Did you run all of the electrical off one 15A circuit breaker? i can't remember if i read that in this thread or not?

 

[Vapour1ze]

thanks for the comments, yea dad wanted the PROFESSIONAL look so we went conduit , turned out sweet, and actually its all ran off of a 20amp circuit combined in with the sump pump (which hasn't run yet on our house) if it does though its about 2-3 amps, and I should be way plenty on my electric needs so I'm not to worried.

heres another update. getting the "appearance" stuff done before the holidays when the family comes over, anyway... tank is trimmed, rounded the outer edges, hard to see from the pics, still going to be puttying sanding, and painting the trim. (staying white with it) I think this really gave it the LOOK of the "in wall setup"

comments/criticisms welcome.

The Fish Room Expanding a Little, I got a computer down there now, hooked up to some nice speakers and wifi internet Very nice, I have a webcam on the tank too 24/7 remote access anywhere, and the 18g tote on the ground is going to be the fuge

 

[PaulieWalnuts]

nice nice...its looking really good. still wish i had the room!!!

 

[Vapour1ze]

i love the room, its so nice. I cant believe I wanted all this upstairs at one point lol.

 

[mathias999us]

Looks pretty nice. So nice to have a dedicated space with plumbing like that too.

 

[PaulieWalnuts]

how did the fuge turn out??

 

[Vapour1ze]

Fuge got done today, I'll post pictures tomorrow, everythings working out sweet so far, the water exchange isnt bad at all. seems to go in and out at a pretty good rate, I can adjust it, but the way it is now doesnt seem to bad . Anyway, my only concern is theres only like a 2 inch sand bed in there, thats the rest of the sand I had, is this a bad thing or should I really go buy more sand and make it more like a 4" sand bed,

Also, my basic thoughts right now for my fuge is going to be rubble. and chaeto, and honestly, matt this is for you, I'm putting a clown in there. lol, but other than that, thats it for now. check back tomorrow for pics of fuge,
