Daniel Name Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Finally the stand! Link to comment
calvin415 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Dan, welcome looks like you're off to a great start! Looks like there are ADA Dealers in Brazil if you are interested... http://www.adana.co.jp/en/distributor/brazil.php Look forward to what is next. Link to comment
Daniel Name Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Calvin! I didn't know about them. But I doubt they sell tanks, it would be too expensive. Anyway, I've sent them e-mails asking if they have it. Thanks! Link to comment
Aunt Minnie Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Holy crap this setup is going to be awesome. Not gonna lie, am very envious as I'm planning something similar myself... Where did you get your stand and what are its dimensions? DIY, custom-made, commercially-available, other? This seems to be the crux of my nano-reefing dreams, as my wife INSISTS that the stand mesh well with our interior decor (fairly contemporary). Your stand fits the bill perfectly!!! I know you're in Brazil, but is there anyway a guy in Chicago can get something like that? Link to comment
Scorched Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Excellent design and finish on that stand. Link to comment
Daniel Name Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 wow this is awesome as hell. Excellent design and finish on that stand. Thanks!! Holy crap this setup is going to be awesome. Not gonna lie, am very envious as I'm planning something similar myself... Where did you get your stand and what are its dimensions? DIY, custom-made, commercially-available, other? This seems to be the crux of my nano-reefing dreams, as my wife INSISTS that the stand mesh well with our interior decor (fairly contemporary). Your stand fits the bill perfectly!!! I know you're in Brazil, but is there anyway a guy in Chicago can get something like that? Aunt Minnie, thanks! I projected the stand and sent to a woodworker. It's custom-made. Bellow are the dimensions. Feel free to copy! This is a bamboo finish, I'm sure you will find there. I did one modification in the back of the stand. Instead of a 2cm open, I change it to 5cm, and 5 cm bellow the top of the stand, to stay more secure. Can't wait for the tank... Bye! Link to comment
CarrillXXP Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Dan just emailed me and told me he was shipping me his MAME! Link to comment
Daniel Name Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 I'm sure is cheaper to buy from MAME Japan than the shipping costs from Brazil to US! Link to comment
Aunt Minnie Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Thanks for the plans Dan, not sure I possess the necessary DIY skills for the build unfortunately... I'm curious as to what a woodworker in Chicago would charge for something similar. Link to comment
Daniel Name Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 The tank finally is here.. I sad so many times to the manufacturer that I wanted transparent silicone.. and he did just the opposite. Not so happy with the results, but it will work for now. I'm trying to get a real ADA tank..

Daniel Name Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hello! I changed the tank to a crystal clear glass one. The tank is almost set up, but I can't get the MAME OVERFLOW to work correctly. I made some videos, maybe someone can help me.. Video 1 Video2 I have tried everything that I could think of. Tried 3 different pumps (with 3 different gph) Thanks! Link to comment
Daniel Name Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 Almost ready.. I inserted a small piece of hose inside the make overflow and now it's working better. I'm just waiting the AI mounting to transfer the livestock from my other reef. Link to comment
