Andy, the backlight is pure genius my friend. What a special trademark for your tank! It looks positively gorgeous. Now I am not going to have any choice. I am going to have to see this growing masterpiece in person. Well done my friend, you are the man!!!!

Peter

Peter, I am very happy you like it, maybe is just a crazy idea but we will see at the end. You are very welcome to come anytime my friend but first I have to see your tank because you are way ahead of me with your beautiful work.
I also have to meet Nineball and your wife if is possible and not the last to see you and Mr. Wilson.

Thank you for keeping close and for the nice words!

This is the best tank i have seen

 

[Elliott]

have you figured out how to keep the in tank panel clean to the backlight?

 

[mr.wilson]

That's a very creative and original idea you have with the backlit "opening" in the reef. I think the effect will work with the main lighting on if you use a more blue light or use opaque/translucent blue plastic to make it look blue. The dawn & dusk effect will be the most significant. Great work!

How did you hide the Tunze cords... and don't tell me they are new wireless models :spin1:

second dr wilson on the natural light Looks cool!

 

[andytripa]

Andy keep extra one 6305 on back up so you can replace one while being clean !

Lawrence, I didn't get an extra one but maybe I will.

i was wondering if there was a way to just but about 6in of tap water in your tank.
that way the salt used can dissolve and the concrete can leach out. that way your not using good filtered water. (that you would possibly have to drain)

a small submersible pump would be fine for water movement.

Done! It's only tap water and 3 pumps are on.
Thanks!

andy, ive been following your thread and this is amazing! if i might ask, if not to intrude, what is your profession? i find it awesome that there are so many different ppl from different professions with this awesome hobby. you being so busy with work makes this thread that much more awesome because of your dedication.

I have done all kinds of things but mostly real estate which in the last few years kind of fall. That means more time for the tank. :twitch:

Thank you!

Andy

 

[andytripa]

just to be in check here,
since were on the topic of curing the cement.. are you not worried about the lime releasing in the tank and maybe just maybe stained the glass and pipes with residue, I do not know what type of cement you use, but it happened to an old tank i cured my diy rocks in and i'll tell you something, if silicone is hard as hell to get rid off you have no idea

Thank you very much for the concern. I don't have any pipes yet and on the glass is not that bad. I used emaco cement. There is a picture with it back in the thread.

I appreciate.

Andy

 

[andytripa]

Great sense of humor Andy I have finaly defeated the problem of not being able to see the pictures in your thread, and I must say - I am speechless. Incredible work Andy

I am glad you made it with the pictures.

Thank you for support!


Andy

 

[andytripa]

Alright its wet.......,
And hey we've been waiting too long so put down the bottle and step away from the tank.....:celeb1:

Ok I'm sorry, I'll get a rubber champagne bottle when will be ready!

:thumbsup:

Probably I'm gonna have to clean it very often, I will see.

Thank very much for the nice comments.
