Custom build 450G in wall display and approx 700G system

This is the side bracing

Its what I hope will make this tank extra strong. Add with the normal euro brace and cross brace.

Its also what I have decided to call the new WWB or world wide brace as in its all around.

Now the display itself.

So at the end of the first days building it looks like this.

how did they install the "new WWB or world wide brace" I can not see it?

 

[waynem]

I took a photo but its hard to see much with black silicon covering everything.

I will post it anyway and I will do a quick sketch of how it was done.

Here is a quick cross section drawing of the tank end bracing construction.

Oh....I feel dumb....Thanks

 

[waynem]

LOL don't, its my bad skills with the camera.

 

[waynem]

Every tank thread needs a baby pic.

 

[waynem]

Does anyone know if the drying time for black silicon is different from the drying time for the normal, can you assume no difference?

 

[waynem]

Adding the plumbing in.

 

[waynem]

RO water takes a long time to fill the tanks.

 

[waynem]

My water pressure drops off a bit during the day so the RO productions dips also.

Thats an awesome build so far, Wayne. Pretty cool to see the tank actually being built in your house. Anything else added yet, besides the RODI?

 

[waynem]

It is interesting to watch a tank get built, took longer and more work then I would have guessed.

Built a frame for the live rock, wanted a way to increase water movement and avoid dead spots.

I found some stainless steal hand rails at the local hardware shop, the guy said they are normal used by old people in showers etc. Will help me a lot later when working on the tank. I can stand on the rear platform and have a grab rail so I don't fall in ......

 

[waynem]

These are the hand rails.
