[laomedon]

yes Eric is right Google Sketchup, regarding the stand I had it build by professional company it was done in 2 days after the order and cost only $300 laybor and material. I just had to pick it up my self . And I think they have done excellent job.

$300! Man, that is the steal of the month...

 

[erics3000]

wow that is a good price.

 

[Plaster]

Hey guys, but $300 is price only for a steel stand : )) . You should calculate it with ceramic protection before corrosion : ))) . Ceramic protection is very interesting entry : )). What do you say lao?

This looks like it will be a great build best of luck with it and your new home

 

[Tank102a]

Very nice build, especially so far inland. Look foreward to any updates. And with the european construction you really have to plan everything out the first time. They don't play with 2x4's once the concrete is set that's it. (I know cause I grew up in Poland)
Good luck (durzo szczescia)

House is great, except there is a part of it that appears to be floating.

 

[Acillaton]

Very nice planning. Zdravim Slovakia.

 

[laomedon]

Acillaton, thanks a tiez pozdravujem,

Kent E, yes you have noticed it, the part that floats is our future bedroom, the dimensions are 18' x 18' foot and the whole structure is hanging on the side of the house just like a shelf. complete steel construction.

Tank102a, dziękuję bardzo...

tanya72806, thank you, I will keep you all posted

and Plaster is right the steel was cheap but the ceramic color was double the price of the steel, but I gues better then in few years I would have to evacuate my tank couse the stand corossion, right ?

1000 Gallon

WOW LOOKS GOOD SO FAR !!!

 

[Chrisrush]

Looks great. I really like the floating bedroom.

What other equipment are you planning? What is the temperature in Slovakia? Are you concerned about having the tank up against the wall w/o insulation?

 

[Tank102a]

Yes, let us know about the other equipment. Protein skimmer, calc reactors, ozone, water flow, exc.

 

[Acillaton]

Chrisrush...
Temperature in Slovakia is normally same as is in New York City but no humidity or very low humid in the summer.
Laomedon... good job! And yeah... how about the skimmer and other equipment you planning to use?

 

[aspinn]

wow cant wait to see what its gunna look like when its done! your house is comming along nicly well done!

 

[laomedon]

Chrisrush, temperature at the moment is -10 celsia = 14 Fahrenheit

the tank being against the wall wont be a problem as there is a 6" thick polystyren going to be put on the outside walls. That will insure nice temperature inside the house even when outside temp. drops down to -20 Fahrenheith.

I will post the equipment list tomorow along with some pictures.
thanks for reading.

 

[Acillaton]
