Is there water in this thing yet?

 

[Saltwaternooby]

Thanks Tim

Yes, fresh water glenn

glenn, he started out with saltwater but that cutting edge, prototype tri-fecta legged wooden skimmer pulled all the salt out

Lol. Now the obligatory full tank shot for us to drool on.

 

[generaltoaster]

holy smokes...
boy, I can't wait to build a tank like that...

Man, you can park a truck on that stand.. Looks very sturdy man! Subbed!

May your tank be blessed by the Nautical Gods!

Thanks all, the stand was built for the long term, dont want issues later on.

Started working on the overflow boxes, pics later on.

 

[Saltwaternooby]

Well put in some work on the internal overflow box and here is what i came up with.





Also here is a new structure that will go in the tank, not huge. It will be a foreground piece for the front view. Not sure if i like the branch, might take it off or add more, undecided.




I will be picking up the industrial silicone tomorrow, to do the external overflow box.

Stay tuned!!!!

Very nice, Anthony. Love the rock, just the way it is. I think you will appreciate the branch when your colonies get larger and the tiered placement will give you much better exposure to flow and more open look...like Tim's tank.

 

[Saltwaternooby]

Thanks Niel, I will probably just add more branches

Internal overflow mounted and back painted


External overflow box mounted and holes drilled

looking good...tagging along!

So as of right now we are looking at 9/7 for the big move. If you can help that day even with just the tank moving let me know.

 

[Tweakes182]

I am working that day but I'll try to get time off. About what time during the day do you think it will be?

 

[tankaddict]

I may be able to help as well.

 

[mpoletti]

That will be here next week, right now it is just 1 1/2" Bulkheads. It will look similar to this

That is slick!

 

[Saltwaternooby]

I will see what a good time is for most and plan accordingly.

Mark, thats not mine, but I think mine came pretty close.

 

[greenhead]

Love the external overflow. Exactly what I want to do when I start my new build. Only difference is I think I want to make the exterior bigger and clear to possibly use as a acclimating area to get fish eating and used to my water after they come out of qt. Possibly even an area to breed clowns like Sanjay Joshi.

Love how the tank is coming along. Would be more than happy to help move it. Just let me know when and where through PM.

Wow. Nice build. Can already tell it's gonna be a super clean modern reef!

Did you build the overflow yourself or buy it?

 

[Saltwaternooby]

Thanks guys, I would like to go larger with the external overflow but due to space limitation its only 17x5x7deep. It has passed the leak test and is ready for its new location!!

The overflows were both built by me.
