GREAT LOOKING TANK !!!!!! Can sure see the thought process was a over load .. Looks like you spent years planning this set up. Glad I found it and plan to tag along. Keep up the good work. I do not think i see any ideas of rock formations. What do you plan. Gary in Oklahoma

time for an update again

i went to a fishy meeting the other night and felt that i needed to push on a little after not having a tank for so long

so, on friday my 500 lt water butt turned up, its well built and is aproximately 10mm thick

heres a couple of pictures, this was after i had drilled it to add a float for my RO system and a 20mm george fischer tap at the bottom, so as i can drain if neccesary

this pictur shows the sheer size of the container, with a regulator set on top for scale

supply in from the RO unit

20mm valve installed

float installed

internal baffles in tank for structural integrity

in its final resting place, ready to be filled

let me know what you think and theres more to follow

roops

 

[abyss1]

after the RO water container was istalled

i set about making the picture frame to go around the tank, this was made out of 9" skirting board and will be sanded and filled, then painted in a magnolia eggshell to finish it off

i think it will do the job

i also started to construct the eggcrate platform for inside the tank

heres a few more pics

i shall leave you with that, more to come next week, hopefully have the bulkheads in and starting to fill..................................................very soon
