Here are a few pictures taken as the plumbing was being finished up. Getting closer to getting the tank finished and ready for delivery.

goodwin, not having the rainbow modules vertical may be problematic when you open the top to access the cartridges/media. These unit at this size hold a lot of water internally. I use to use 2 80 wat uvs on my pond and 4 of the cartridge mods for my tank cleaning business in the 90s. The only thing I can think of is to have a bucket ready underneath the caps when you open. Of course you will need ball valves to shut the flow to/from the mod unit. Just my thoughts from experience with rainbow mods.
 
Also, I see you are using what appears to be panworld pumps. Dandy7200 did a complete thread on how to quiet these pumps down even more. Might search for it under panworld pump or dandy7200. I have pulled the rear fan cover off the back of my panworld and it helps substantially. These pumps are already pretty darn quiet. There is also a thread somewhere on RC where someone provided a video/audio comparison between the panworld and the ikawi, I think. The difference is noticible, with the panworld being much quieter.
 
VERY NICE. NICE CHOICE IN LIGHTING I WAS GONNA GO THAT ROUTE BUT INSTED I WENT WITH 1 1000W HALIDE NOW I'M PUTTING 6-8 T5'S OVER IT.

SWEET TANK

HAVE FUN

There is a drain valve below the canisters shown in the 4th picture. There is a valve to shut off flow to the pump also.
 
gees, I'd of waited until summer dude! Of course that's a native southern californian talking. Much below 50 degress and we're in a deep freeze out here! Boy you could just store all you frozen food outside! Looks good, keep the pics coming!
 
can't wait to see this tank in person. glad you are less then 1hr away. if you ever need help let me know!

interesting way the bracing was put together. i've usually seen it out of one sheet but i suppose on the big tanks that can't be done costeffectively so pieced togehter bracing works fine.

never heard of that tank building company. do they have a website

keep posting pics and let me know if you need help
