Shallow (Now with 100% less rim) Pics pg22

[GiantBen]

Sorry to hear that shallow

[steve 2]

Hi there. I have a koralia controler w/ 2- 425 k. pumps. Its been used just shy of 1 year. Worked well in my tank which is also 24 x 24 x 12. Changed over to vortec (1 pump does it all-got to love them). Willing to sell for $100, you pay shipping. I am in the San Francisco bay area.

opps, sorry. I see by your latest post that you have circulation covered.

Well this weekend my dad and I are going to try to fix the leak if it's repairable. Then I might use the same tank and drill it for an overflow. I wish I could de rim it with assurance it would be all right

[Deckoz2302]

how thick is the glass?

[Shallow]

It is a quarter inch

[Shallow]

is there any sort of reforcing i would need to do.

[Shallow]

plus I've decided that its time to drill the tank, no more overflow! Which size glass holes kit would be suiting? Or should i approach it differently.

 

well hold up. I'm planning to have things back up and running by sunday night, so ordering a glass holes kit wouldn't work out. Still gonna drill though.

[Shallow]

I think it may have been on pg 3 but RED de rimmed his tank, and I love it. would quarter inch glass be okay for that?

 

Btw we r going to re seal it new silicone every where

[Shallow]

Bump

[Deckoz2302]

you will be fine to derim the top - what brand is your tank? can you tell how the panes are placed on the bottom?

 

if the panes are resting on the bottom do not derim the bottom, if they are around the buttom you will be fine to derim both

 

sorry for the delayed response

[Shallow]

Thankyou, I already de rimmed the top, and I'm going to keep it that way. It'll definitely look cleaner, as for drilling we decided against it, I already got the equip for the over flow, cheaper easier.

[Shallow]

Heres some progress being made.

First off my dad suprised me and had a stainless steel sheet bent to cover my stand and the front edge.

And some pics of the sump in the temporary stage.

And lastly some pics of the tank, its been de rimmed and re siliconed. The glass edges of the glass are a little chewed up, but i still love it. Ohh and I painted the back panel black.

 

 

 

 

 

And the leak test, FIXED

[Shallow]

Thanks bro. I really like the stainless steel

[iball1804]

Yeah it looks good. I hope everything sets back up like before.

[Shallow]

Nicely done! I love the stainless, make sure to keep it clean and wipe up any salt water that drips on it as it spots if left too long.

[Shallow]

Got the overflow re plummed.

Yup we wiped some stainless steel polish on it, no finger prints at all, so smooth.

[Shallow]

Tomorrow it should be wet

[mygolfisslow]

[Shallow]

I tweaked a couple rocks around, but left the same concept.
