Mr. Tangs 150 Display Tank with total water volume 300gallons
- Thread starter Mr..Tang
- Start date
well looks like an surgeons table. Got all my plumbing supplies laid out and ready to mock up the plumbing for the 4 way.
The Kalk reactor is on the left and the Calcium reactor is on the right
Also check out the steel 1 1/2" tubular stand. That baby ain't going anywhere!!!
And than just a pic of the supply table and the tank in the background.. Can't wait to get started!!!

Got an update Mr Tang?
That anemone I got from you is not rockin out in my 40g, thanks again, stuck a pair of Clarkii's in there I picked up at TFR, about an hour later one found itself a home in the anemone.

Updates
Well we moved the old tank out and moved the new one in place. Than I finished gluing up the 4-way and did a water test. luckily I had only one leak at the 2" to 1 1/2" reducer. Need to tighten it up more. The sump room has been stripped out and now in the process of drywalling the inside. As soon as that's done, I'll start making the sump. I'm going to use the old 120 AGA tank for the sump... The setup is going to be fairly simple.. One chamber for the skimmer and drain. One chamber for Live Rock. A couple of baffles for microbubbles. and than a small chamber for the return pump. The pump will be outside via a 1" bulkhead. Actually there will be two bulkheads. One for the return and one for the pump that will feed frag tanks and a 55 gal. refugium tank.

Thanks agains ruppa No....The bond lasted about a week. I used 100% silicone. I think some of the problem started when the refugium filled up with water before the other side had any water in it.

Tank is looking awesome. I stopped by Mr..Tangs yesterday and things are coming along nicely. I was lucky enough to see the barracuda in action. This thing is a beast, even with the intakes throttled back.
Looking forward to the next update. Thanks again for all the advise.

I did get a seal for the second hole on the body for the recirculation. but the hole drilled for the maxi was like one size under and the maxi fitted nice and tight. So I figured it would be OK. I'll keep my eyes on the fit but I really don't see any issues coming from that. I lucked out and found the rubber seal from LOWE'S. It's not exactly the same as the above one, but worked really good if you sized the bottom hole right.
