Nate's 300g Build

That is great. I love to see similar builds. I have some eye candy for ya. They just came in. I hooked one up to compare with my 2nd gen. My god what a difference. The QD is so quiet and powerful. Its wet side and dry side look so much more sleek too.

Thinking of using the new MP60s when our WP60s start burning out. The noise was always something that kept me away from MP40/60s.

Yeah, its hard to get the true scale of things in pictures. The UV was WAY bigger than I thought it would be.




Funny, I am sick of planning. I just want some real progress. Hopefully my UV will help me avoid algae blooms when cycling.

Thanks for the extra eye candy, Nate. Looks like I'll also add the MP40s to my tank build in the future too.

Don't pay much attention to the estimated delivery date. Mine was supposed to be delivered on Friday and the last update says its in Buffalo. Do you have a build thread going?
 
That stinks. Mike told me 3-5 business days and it depends on the fright work load. maybe the holiday weekend had something to do with the delay? I don't have a build thread. I was going to wait until it was setup then show everything
 
Update! The tank is here! The delivery man was a little skeptical that we would even be able to get the tank off the truck. With a little ingenuity and and time we got it unloaded in one piece. I was very impressed with how the tank was packaged. Now photo time.







 
Thanks everyone.

I drilled and assembled the external overflow box and installed the coast-to-coast overflow weir today. Pics...















 
So Nate for the coast to coast you are just have one piece of glass the length of the tank silicone slant? how thick is this piece and the pieces for the box you are using?

Yes, the inside overflow is one piece of 1/2" glass that is set at an angle. The external box is made from 1/4" glass.
 
Thanks I am think about ordering my tank for my upgrade from Custom Aquarium it going to be 96" x 36" x 24" H. Do you mind give me the measurement of your coast to coast piece of glass (height) and you overflow box? Thanks again
