Tank Setup

[maxis24]

I'll try and use this thread for updates till I get my tank operational. Just waiting till GWA gets a few more of the bulkheads I want in stock.

Today's job was to tint the back glass (2.5% pass thru rate) and install a mount for my light. The bottom picture is a photoshop so that I could get the whole assembly in the same shot.

I have a bunch of bulk heads ,all sizes....U can have for free.

If you've got a black 1.5" bulkhead, I think I could take it off your hands. I've already purchased all the other bulkheads.. just need to exchange for correct ones.

 

[stlsaltwater]

I have one for ya

Any chance you have an extra 2" bulkhead laying around?

 

[stlsaltwater]

yep, but they are the short kind.

That is a pretty sweet setup. Can't wait to see it up and running.

Looks nice, sorry about rudely interupting your thread earlier.

Well, I got home from my adventures yesterday to find the one bulkhead too small, thought I measured it correctly, but I apparently didn't. The opening (hole itself) is 2 3/8", which should be a 1 1/2" bulkhead, but oh well.

I hopefully have the right size bulkhead on order and can finish the majority of the plumbing tomorrow.

I'd drive down to south stl again and trade stlsaltwater for a different size, but it's just as expensive to order one online and have it shipped.
