Teddans round obsession (195gallon) cylinder tank

[Teddan]

The first picture really shows that no background is needed in a cylinder tank.

Very nice work Teddan.

I'm interested in more pictures of the durso drain and the inside of the iverflow if you have them.

Thaks!

I have a 175. I have had mine 10yrs but has not been running past 4 yrs looking to get it up again

Gorgeous tank! Cylindrical's are by far my favorite! I cant wait to grow up so i can have one. Wait a sec, I dont wanna grow up!

 

[Teddan]

-CCole The inside of the overflow is filled with the pipes for the cables, durso and return. But I will try to post a couple of picÃ"šÃ‚´s of it anyway.

How do you keep the water flowing all the way to the center of the tank? Are there strong currents in there?

 

[Ludwigia73]

Awesome tank... wish I had the cajones to build a tank like that!!! But think about it, ONLY ONE SEAM!!!!!!!! If I were going to tackle an acrylic tank, this would be it. Great job, can't wait to see it grown in!

Teddan, you did a most awesome job on your tank. I am most impressed with the work you did fitting everything into the stand.

I must also say I have pump envy as Deltec doesn't export those 8070's to the U.S. Perhaps one day they will, but until then I can only dream.

Great tank, and well thought out first rate.

As to the Deltec pumps they are nice lots of flow for low watts but i had to pull three of my 180 as if not cleaned every 6 months they would jam, and just get hot. I have heard mixed reports from no problems at all to complete pump failure due to bearing corrosion.

The bearing needs to run wet, and I am not sure the original pump body was designed for saltwater use.
I hope all work ok and you do not have a problem.

I replaced mine with iwakis, and these have proved more reliable

There's an interesting project

Is the leaking light any annoyance while in the same room?
