Just bought four of those Holders today from that guy, Can't wait to get them. They look really nice mounted, Good work!

What was all included with them? Did you buy the grey fittings or were they included?

 

[Jar*Head]

Ed, thank you for the kind word... talking about idea i still have much more to learn from RC member...

46bfinGA, i bought the fitting myself from Bulk reef supply... Once you drill the Rod, make sure you take your time or else you will break them...

Dang Steve, seams like it was only a month ago when I was over and all you had was the tank!?! You were telling me about all this stuff, I can't believe it's all done already. Nice work

 

[Jar*Head]

Thank you Ken. I try to get everything done before the move.

Thanks. You glued everything to the bulkhead then just drilled and tapped a hole in the "T" in order to fasten the Rod? Am I looking at that right?

Steve, can you post a picture of this dis-assembled? I have limited space inside my overflow box and have been looking for a way to silence my overflow. Standard Stockman's or Durso's just don't fit, yours look slimmer.

Thing are looking really clean Steve. Its too bad I will probably never be able to see this system in person as I do not think my wife will agree with me, "dear, do you want to go to Colorado so we can go see Steve's new tank"

 

[Konadog]

Call it a "vacation in Colorado" or "ski trip" and see what she says

Steve, what a beautiful adaptation you have created. I can't wait to get mine up and running, although I've gotta admit, I now regret purchasing the Wavy Sea unit. It's gotten a lot of bad press lately with respect to poor reliability and even worse customer service.
