Steve's 480g upgrade

[cbui2]

Steve now you really got everyone work up on the supermod waveboxes . why release the secrets now, should have waited 2010 :lol:.

Chad, the tank will be deliver on Friday after he add the two wave boxes. I will use the Wavy sea tunze holder for my power head not the wavy sea unit. I think the 6301 will break the unit in the first 30mins.

Bart, it is not a super mod waveboxes like Anthony talking about. Just a regular box with two tunze wavebox pump inside. Hopefully it will work well or else i will have 4 large holes on the tank with two boxes

Will get together with John this weekend for the stand and Canopy.... The stand will be in 4 pieces 24Lx48wx42 tall, the Canopy should be around 96x48x12 tall.

alright enough is enough.....where's the updates??

I like the rounded corners. Maybe like a Elos swoosh it would be cool to have him engrave a $ sign in the upper corner .

Chad

 

[Jar*Head]

[Jar*Head]

Side shot. Don't you love my giant frag tank?

I will do leak test, also test out the wave boxes tomorrow. I do have a question tho.

My garage is not level, is it ok to fill up the tank without any harm to the acrylic?

Looks great, Steve! I hope you picked up a 6101 along with all your pumps . I think if you're just doing a leak test, and then you drain the water, it won't matter too much.

 

[Jar*Head]

Plan to keep the water inside the tank for 24hrs.

 

[tbone28]

I think that should be OK, but wait to see what other people say.

 

[cbui2]

to be safe get a sheet of pink foam at HD. placed wood on the floor first then foam. Steve now thats what i called a frag display. can i do the same thing on my display ? by the time you get all the equipments, the car need to be outside :lol:

 

[Ed Reef]

Wow...Jar*Head all the planning coming into place....can't wait for more updates...Ed

 

[clownnrnd]

wow, looks great...like the rounded corners on the verticle front. wave boxes tured out sweet


I'd be careful filling w/ water especially if the floor would put a twist on the tank. How far off is the floor?

Chad

 

[Jar*Head]

Chad the floor is a little bit off but i contact ATA and they said it fine . They have a tall tank at their shop approx 96lx30wx60t and the floor off by 1/2"-3/4". The tank has been up and running for a few years now. I do not want to take a change but i don't want to lift up the tank by myself either . At the same time, i don't want to wait till i get to CO then figure out the monster is leaking on me .

Ed, the next update will be the stand and float canopy

Bart, I have to go with 24", i want to be able to reach the bottom for cleaning.

 

[tbone28]

Steve, the next update should be your leak test with all Tunzes firing away

 

[stryker]

very clean setup!!! awsome design on the stealth waveboxes!!! i was wondering how you will adjust the height of the waveboxes? i guess you can just adjust the waterlevel by blocking off the teeth with an piece of acrylic if you need too. great job!

 

[chriscobb]

Awesome!!!!!!

 

[Jar*Head]

Thanks Chris

 

[Jar*Head]

Terry, thank you for the kind word. I don't need to adjust the water level but if i do, i either blocking the teeth or just raise the durso.

Terry (T-boned) the tank being filled with tab water as we speak. Should take couple hrs but that is the benefit i get for not paying for h2o

 

[tbone28]

how many terry's are on this thread? lol. I'll be waiting for pics.

 

[clownnrnd]

Alright, I probably have enough time to go get a Starbucks then before you post updated pics. Does your camera do video? Cool to see how much of a wave this thing does? May even have the occasional "Rogue" wave??

O'ya and last night I went back a couple pages and saw your Hawaii pic. The wife has definitely got it going on but dang....sorry to see such a young guy loose his hair so early in life . Just kidding Brutha
