The MONSTER TANK It LIVES!

That is a cool idea on the overflows. Did you just drill a drain and return hole then glue the pipe over the two??

Pretty much one is the drain the other the return, I had some closeups of that but I have to retake them. We will start working on the move later this week if all goes well.


Here are a few more pics of the progress:

<b>This is the manifold construction process. The manifolds are the skeletal structure to which the rock work will be fixed. The tubing will serve a dual purpose of placing flow behind and around that rockwork as well as providing some support.</b>

The assemblies will be powered by 2 internal ViaAqua 4900s.</b>

After examining this all day Im not sure there will be enough flow through the manifolds for the system? I am sure the tower overflows are going to work 100%

I'll post more as we continue to test ideas, follow along this will be fun.
 
Thanks but this things not even a 1/4 of the way done yet. I have many issues to iron out. Keep watching things are about to get interesting.
 
Oh. Didn't realize this post was old, lol. When I went into JoMars after the September meet, they had 2 large pipes covered in snail shells, rubble, etc. Even had a leather in it!!!
 
We installed the Tunze 6100 a few weeks back and added a few more fish. Now I need a light for it and we are off to the races. Coraline algae is starting to grow on the overflow tubes.

No pics just yet.
 
hummmmmmmmm could be that long before I make it down there. LOL

I never have time for me anymore. LOL
 
Are you ready for that Sailfin tang yet lol he is a beauty we have had him for a year lol he is getting a little big for our 46 lol he will be a wonderfull addition to the tank
 
I doubt we will have room in this one man, but we are in talks to set up a 265 Display behind the counter soon, if so thats where she should go. Those guys get HUGE and need some serious room.
