The wall must come down

[fragmonster]

looking great. i loved having my deep tank.
mine was 36x8. it made it GREAT for aquascaping but it SUCKED big time for cleaning. i had to get on a ladder and lean way of the sides to get the back. sometimes i would have my whole side and chest in the water lol. any deeper and i would have needed a snorkle. i had a full canopy though so it made getting to the sides a real pain. 3

Thank you. I love the depth of these tanks. Fortunately i will be able to reach all sides easily.

Walls are textured and mostly painted. Pretty much just have cut in to do.

[CMcNeil]

[W Ellis]

Yes both the overflow and starboard are siliconed in.

Pretty much. It took a little bit to figure a way to run the returns throught the over flow with the 3 drains in there. I ended up cutting the T's and elbows down on the dursos so they arent as wide and that gave me a ton of room. And let me tell you drilling 1/2" acrylic isnt fun especially getting the pieces out of the hole saw.

Looking good Billy! Cannot wait to see it running

 

[W Ellis]

Thanks Mitch. After its running and i get the house cleaned up a bit you will have to come check it out.
