My 748 Gal A.G.E. Aquaillumination SOL lit Texas Dream Tank Build!

[AJT]

have you run a pump test yet andy?

Not yet. Not filled with water yet. That is tomorrow.....

She likes to go to sleep with the TV on, so white noise/water should be no problem.

It was her choice anyway, I had it ready for the study. With the new grandchild she took the study & told me to use the bedroom.

Then you are doubly-blessed, my friend.

AJT, first of all congratulations on your project. Really a goot size tank.

AJT,

Nice.

People marvel at my 125 long in my living/family room!
Have you calculated the Gallons in that thing. I didn't do the math, just ballpark guessing at 450?

What part of Houston you in? I last resided in Southdown, in Pearland TX. I know TX. and Houston well.

You should show somes pics of your current tank.

 

[PurdueWaterGuy]

Will have to show your move-in pictures to my wife - I'm trying to convince her it won't cost too much to cut a 3 foot square hole in an 8" thick basement wall (poured concrete with rebar) so I can get a large tank in there.

 

[Chrisrush]

Any concerns about the windows behind the tank?

 

[Zackb911]

300 Gallons in your bedroom? Wow.

Is in front of the windows the only place it really works? Seems a shame to lose the natural light in your bedroom.

If its ok with him and his wife....

To the AJT
Ecotech can be loud and annoying at 80-100% almost unbearable.
I would go with TUNZE 6305 it's almost dead silent

 

[AJT]

I have 4 Tunzes in my 200. I am just trying to keep ALL motors out of the water. I am in Texas & tring not to have the chiller run much.

I have 2 40's & 2 60's. we'll see when I get water in it.

You should see the schedule 80 plumbing. It's a work of art. Pics coming soon!

 

[Pallobi]

Tagging along for sure

 

[dzfish17]

Nice tank. I wish I could have gone 10' but I only had enough room for an 8' tank. Have fun with your project.

I agree I think 2 mp4's and 2 mp60's will be plenty. Also with that much water running you won't hear the mp60's

Was thinking the same thing.....What are your plans for humidity control?

 

[AJT]

Venting for humidity-

The canopy & stand are supposed to be completed this weekend. I am going to vent
(2) 4" holes for exit from the canopy, thru dryer vent tube, thru window with elec fans. 2 Input holes with blue filter floss for air filter.

It has been open on top & had water for 3 weeks now & I do not notice any more humidity than normal. Remember I am in Houston. 80-90% humidity is the norm.

 

[AJT]

What about the windows? Not sure of the question?

 

[535freak]

do you know what size steel they used for the stand
