Steve's 480g upgrade

[Jar*Head]

With all the wave that i am going to have, i will need a strong stand.. I also need a strong stand to support the canopy

 

[tbone28]

are there any earthquakes in CO? you might be causing some and freak out your neighbors!!

 

[Jar*Head]

I may cause some earthquakes but not from the tank

 

[cbui2]

yeah im the same with overbuilding. you better be careful when wiping the display down after leak test, all the dirt and acrylic was still floating around. one wrong wipe and scratch. you decided on how many access doors and etc.? more details on the stand for now not canopy mr miagi

 

[Aaronovky]

i think that should hold it up

 

[Jar*Head]

Bart, i will have 2 double doors on each size and 1 door in the front end. I didn't wipe down my tank at all but i did over flow the tank so all the dirt and whatever may be in the tank is out. It is very clean now.... Hey, which magnet should i get? I was thinking about getting something 1 size smaller...

Aaronovky, i think so too

Steve,
What is the purpose of the two holes below the overflow teeth? Do you need them in order to handle the additional water input from the wave?

As far as I can tell, the wavebox is the same as the overflow, correct? In other words, the Tunzes are mounted in the same box that sends water to the sump. I'm just trying to understand how your wave box functions. Thanks,

Andy

Andy, the pump sit in a separate compartment. I can't use the water from the overflow because the water level will fluctuate. The two holes below is for my return

You can see better from this picture

OK, so is the water heading back into the wavebox through the pump outlets or is there another inlet to the wavebox that I can't see in the picture?

Bart, I'm going with 6 lumen bright reflector, 6 400w galaxy ballast, 6 Ushio 14K, 2 pendant of T-5 and couple moon lights.

What Con ga flip Flops are you talking about . My mother in law bought it for me when she went back to VN. First i thought it was Con ga too but it wasn't :lol: . Dude, you will never find me wear shoes unless i am at work or some formal dinner. If i can get away with flip flops, i will
