we have a local acrylic engineer and he does alot of stuff for quite a low price and good quality he makes everything from overflows to skimmers (which he makes himself).

Low price?! My overflow was going to cost £50/$100

Hey Steve, are you setting up the tank in CA or CO?

 

[Jar*Head]

Terry, Thank you bro....
Sang, the tank will be up in Colorado
Joe, it does not take long to mix the salt at all :lol:

including drilling your tank and fitting the overflow

 

[kar93]

That wasn't including drilling and overflow, I found the sheet he put it on here. Anyway lets not clutter up Steves thread with our junk.

 

[Jar*Head]

It is ok. Help yourself

 

[kar93]

Id rather keep on topic. Anything to update?

 

[Jar*Head]

Update? hmmm let me see

Just bought 150w Emperor aquatic U.V sterilizer, that darn thing is 70" long, 5" OD. I got freak out when the delivery guy carried the box in.

The stand is almost done as well as the canopy. Found the carpenter who is willing to put the skin on my stand and canopy for pretty good deal using Mahogany wood.

My local acrylic guy working on the super duty tunze holder . I am using 3/8" acrylic with 1" solid acrylic rod. I will post some picture this weekend.

 

[kar93]

Sounds good, Looking forward to those pics. :beer:

I also have the same person custom build the kalk reactor and Fluidized reactor for me.

Steve, Here is a thread I found while lurking around the SPS forum that I thought might interest you.

What did you use to make these? Much nicer than the Stockman's I made.

I am planning a new tank and might like to neaten things up a little.

ehhh, i paid for that from CJ for $27 each (I must have too much coffee that day). You could make one at home for less then $5. They use ABS instead of PVC. I found all the part at ACE hardware for $1-$1.50 each. All you need is the end cap and 2"x1.5" coupler... Let me stop talking about the Stand pipe because i feel so.... silly for buying 2.... BTW, they even charge me for taxes too (WTH over?) an online store, out of state charged me for Tax. This is completely new to me.... :lol:

 

[Jar*Head]

Stand finally here

150w U.V

 

[Jar*Head]

Tunze holder

[kar93]
