NanoClown Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Looks great so far, I was going to ask what size bulkheads are you running for your return/drain? Link to comment
Angel<3Nanos Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Looks great so far, I was going to ask what size bulkheads are you running for your return/drain? The drain has a 1" and a 3/4" bulkheads. And my 2 returns are 3/4"s. Link to comment
Angel<3Nanos Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 So for this build I've decided to use Life Rock by CaribSea. It's Eco friendly!!! http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=28202 Link to comment
Elrato Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 looks good, have you painted the stand yet? Link to comment
dxmaster Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 How much does sonny charge per hole? Link to comment
Angel<3Nanos Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 looks good, have you painted the stand yet?Thx! and no I haven't yet! I've need way too busy but hopefully I can paint it this weekend! How much does sonny charge per hole? $10 per hole. I think every LFS on Vegas has the same prices. But sonny is super fast and does an amazing job. Link to comment

Love the tank and equipment so far. Any stocking plans yet? Link to comment
Arkayology Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Nice dims on this tank. The equipment selection is top notch as well. I'll be following along. Link to comment

Any suggestions? Nice dims on this tank. The equipment selection is top notch as well. I'll be following along.Thx Ark! Your tank is a BIG inspiration for me! Its an honor to have you follow my thread! Looking great! Are you going to paint the back black?Thx! And yes and no, I've always painted all my tanks black but I've seen some beautiful tanks with a blue or white background, but I'm still going strong with black. Mainly because it never looks dirty lol.And also expect an order from me soon! I've been looking at your killer selection lately! So much good candy there! Link to comment

Angel<3Nanos Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 So I just realized the hinges i bought were wrong lol gotta go back and get the right ones and hopefully I can finish the stand tomorrow Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I like the stand color, very nice work/ Link to comment
Angel<3Nanos Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 I like the stand color, very nice work/ Thx man! The pic looks very brown but its actually the color of blood. lol when I finished painting the stand my wife thought I had just murder someone because of my hands haha Link to comment
njasmin Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Following! That stand you have looks a little large for that tank...? Can't wait to see updates. Can I ask why you drilled 2 holes behind the overflow? Is this just to drain more into the sump or is there some kind of physics underlying this to make it more efficient? Link to comment

Yes the stand will have this tank plus my 13.3 frag tank. And a 42" long sump. which is why I bought it this long. And the return has 2 holes for protection. In case of an overflow or one return gets clogged. Just a precaution. Link to comment
njasmin Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 That makes sense, I was just wondering bc I'm about to drill a 20L maybe I should go for 2 hours drilled. The overflow box I ordered is pretty small tho. I'll have to wait till I get it to make a determination. So you are keeping your sump level with the display tank? Link to comment

If you can have two holes do it. If not its ok, I've had drilled tanks with only 1 hole on the overflow and ran fine. What do you mean by sump level with DT level? Lol Link to comment

I want to do the same thing with two of my tanks. Great idea. Yeah! If you can have two holes do it. If not its ok, I've had drilled tanks with only 1 hole on the overflow and ran fine.What do you mean by sump level with DT level? LolHe's confusing. The sump would be on the bottom, lower I assume. Not my tank, but that's the usual standard. Link to comment

What do you mean by sump level with DT level? Lol As mentioned in the above post, by level I meant the same height or right next to the main tank. Traditionally the sump is located underneath the display in order to hide all the filtration equipment Link to comment
