Steve's 480g upgrade

[crazzy]

Jar*Head's Tunze holder guy does good work, makes them with up to 12" Rod too.
I reached him at adv.acrylics@yahoo.com
Prices not bad either.

 

[Jar*Head]

Adam, i agree but some how i like clear more :lol:... I could have it done in black or what or blue... they all will turn purple in a few months...

 

[Jar*Head]

Crazzy, the ROD is cast Acrylic, it holds very well

Steve,
Your innovations are amazing.
Now, if only YOU could work with acrylic, you'd be dangerous.

 

[ReefEnabler]

give him a couple months after settling in after the big move and I'm sure his mangarage will develop into an acrylic workshop in no time

I have a bunch of scrap 3/8" acrylic, more than I can use for the various 'scrap acrylic' projects I have planned (probe holders, powerhead 'wand' holders etc...). I'm always willing to donate scrap acrylic to anybody who wants to try some kind of mini-acrylic-DIY project......

Those are some sweet tunze holders. You going to run them on a driver that turns them?

Lunchbucket

 

[Jar*Head]

Lunch, i can't run them on the driver due to the pressure of the 6301. I will mounted into my euro brace via bulk head and some pvc...

Ryan, No acrylic fab for me... I can't cut a straight line..

Hello frank, the tank made out of 1" acrylic all around with 3" brace...

 

[pdfrogman]

Awesome Tank!!!

[Jar*Head]

Frank, thanks. Make sure you post picture....

Will this be a peninsula? I just assumed because the ext. wavebox is on the side of the tank

 

[Jar*Head]

Kane, it will be a peninsula....

[Jar*Head]

[Jar*Head]

I don't know if the change is good but i know for sure i will be lack of sleep . I will have to take care of two baby at the same time... I will take 2 months of leave so my wife has enough time to recover

Hay Jar Head i was reading along and just looked at some of the pics did you get this tank from ATA in cerritos? by the look of it looks like the plaza and he owner has a truck just like that. But then again its a comon truck and all plazas looks alike. I know they have a bad rap for keeing fish alive but how is the tank structure. Any regrets how is the workmanship?
me i have a 180g penninsula also but my dream tank is a 72L x 30W x 24H

 

[Jar*Head]

Savethereef, I bought my tank from ATA in Cerritos (Jay). IMO, he is a great guy to deal with as long as you know what you want, how you want it. People find him being rude because he talk loud but that is normal for me .

As far as the fish health i have never buy any live good from him therefore i can't say much but the tank is super solid, you should get the round corner....
