New 200 Gallon Crystal Dynamics Build

[christygirl]

Well I started the plumbing. 2 lines laid out and glued up.

Having trouble with the clips to hold it to the wall.

Bought a different clip and size.... hopefully it will work.

Super clean... Looks great!

Well, If you look closely in the picture above with the piping, you will see that I used some White Pipe Clamps to hold the pipe to the wall. I was not happy with them as they were to small and did not come all the way around the pipe. They made me real nervous and I thought the worst thing that could happen would be for the pipe to come off the wall. So I bought a new Pipe clamp. This Pipe clamp is cool...
1. It is black, so it goes with my scheme
2. These attach to each other so you get perfect spacing. (I will have 4 pipes stacked)
3. These are 25mm so slightly to small (The red PVC 3/4" pipe is 27mm) so it is a nice positive fit and the front part of the clip comes around the front of the pipe.

I will take some close up pics of the pipe in the clamp tomorrow.

At work right now and I have an event later tonight so I won't get to work on it until tomorrow.

Thought you guys and gals would like to know what I was using.

Alright. The plumbing that is egind the tank is ready. I have to have the tank set in place permanently today. Tomorrow, the flooring for the remodel happens...so......

 

[christygirl]

I want a flexible connection between the wall and the tank to eliminate vibrations

 

[christygirl]

Here is the flex connection at the wall.

 

[christygirl]

The union with the red pipe gets glued to the elbow from the tank

 

[christygirl]

I am making and painting standoff blocks to support the valve body

 

[christygirl]

As aside note: the doors got installed yesterday....

You will be able to see the tank throught the front door

By the way. Newest tool. Love it

What is that tool? Is it attached to a drill or impact?

 

[griss]

Oh, is it a pvc cutter?

 

[christygirl]

Attached to an impact drill.

Oh, is it a pvc cutter?

Yes. Dewalt. I will post a video of it if I can remember how.

 

[christygirl]

She's in the hole. Just need to level it now.

 

[christygirl]

The thing to remember, is no one will see this ... it us all behind a millwork wall

 

[griss]

She's in the hole. Just need to level it now.

Awesome

Great progress! BTW, if you need any basic 3D printed parts lmk and I'll see if I can help. I've designed and printed my own brackets, standoffs, adapters etc...nothing ever seems to be simple "plug n play" in this hobby

I may take you up on this.

What kind of stuff have you made?

I would like a bracket that can hold 4 Vortec MP40 controllers side by side... Of course, it would need to be black or schedule 80 gray!
