My In-Wall Reef Tank Build....

[Phildirt]

Excellent James! You have waisted no time. I can't wait to see it up and running.

 

[Mr James]

Hey Phil!! How are things going?? Wish I could get some Styrofoam boxes from you. Post some pics of your tank in the Florida Panhandle Forum when you get your camera fixed.

 

[Mr James]

A few new pics:

Some new tanks. Mostly QT tanks, some species tanks and lots of BIG plumbing!! I have one of the QT tanks running with some established live rock and fish. I am using my Aqua C Remora for skimming and I just bought an AC Jr!!! Wooo hooo!!!

My ATi BM200 in the 100g sump. I plan to put the skimmer inside the tank and drill some holes in it to control water height, as these skimmers are sensitive to depth.

What do you plan on using the 2" pipe for??

 

[Mr James]

Main drain for the main system will be 3" and the 2" pipe will be for the other tanks. Just not too sure how I plan to set up "the other tanks" yet. I may sell them and do something different. Dunno!?!?

 

[Mr James]

A lot is going on, but I managed to get some livestock in the tanks. A few pics.

hey james im going to be doing a in-wall build at my house and had a question on your stand. is the main stand for the tank independent from the wall or does the wall help support the tank?

 

[Mr James]

Independent. I built a header to support the wall and the ceiling above.
