Back in the Saddle Again!! My new 480g In-Wall thread

[Konadog]

It looks like that's a custom manifold. Looks like the same barrel will fit inside of that.

Christmas came early!!!

Brent, want to know what I want for xmas!

Trade you an 8 way for it.

Well, the tank should be arriving at the terminal this afternoon and I will be trailering it home from Dallas to my house her in Rockwall. I finally got a chance to do some more work on the fish room. The outside is basically done, all of the moldings and trim and also the front hatch is complete. Here is the sketch from the first page of this thread.

and here is a pic of it now.

I must first thank my wife for putting up with my mess and the patience to see me rip a hole in our new house. I am having some of my friends from work come by Sat. to help lift the tank onto the stand. The tank has 2 2'' drains 2 1 1/2" bulkheads also in the overflow and also two 1 1/2" holes in the rear panel for a closed loop. I will be using my seq 5800seq23 for my return and pushing it back into the tank through my 8way oceans motion. And lastly but not least I have four streams that will be helping puch the flow back and forth. I will post some pics once the tank arrives and I know I must have the required kids in the tank shot, I am just wondering if I can shove my whole family in it!!!

Brent, there must be a mistake. Your project didn't turn out anything like your sketch. I see no wavy lines, uneven trim, heck, even the floor looks even. It was looking so promising


Dang dude, you work fast! I can't wait to see the tank in place. It's going to turn out very nice. Your going to spend the next year trying to fill it with corals now.

Question, does the upper panel open to the living room, or is it stationary?

Anyways I am going to be building a 480g in wall tank, it consists of a Acrylic 96"x48"x24" and is made of 1-1/4" completely to have a 4" euro brased top.

Brent,

That is sick. SoCal creations does awesome work. If Scott decides to get back into the hobby, he might use them to build a tank.

LOL, I was just giving you crap, I figured it was marked glass for that extra added benefit
