NorthGaHillbilly Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Really like the wall, how much water does it hold with the wall in place? I expect you've answered this before but I couldnt find it 1 Quote Link to comment
jaynkeel Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Damn good question. We shall find out as soon as the silicone has fully cured. I am gonna hazard a guess of around 3.5 gallons. 1 Quote Link to comment
jaynkeel Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Another pic I took at nighttime so the glare wasn't as bad on the front panel. 2 Quote Link to comment
jaynkeel Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Ha I am hoping for the most, I will take it up to the rim if I need to beat ya!!!! Quote Link to comment
jaynkeel Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Not saltwater, just a r/o rinse and flow test with the wall in and lower intake slowed down a bit. Came in at around 3.25 gallons with about a half inch below the rim. Cannot believe the depth the water in makes. This thing is gonna look killer stocked. 3 Quote Link to comment

jaynkeel Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 And here is a quick video clip showing the flow into the overflow around 19 sec in you will see some bubbles flying in. And no darth vador was not at my house, I have some allergies goin on right now lol. Oh and the trickle you hear is my 60 marineland cube with the annoying impossible to quiet overflow, been trying for 3 yrs now. 2 Quote Link to comment

jaynkeel Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 One more 2 day fill rinse and drain cycle then I should be able to move this into the members forum and fill with s/w and let the build take off. Even though I blew the dust off from scuffing my topcoat with my air compressor I am still getting a slight tint of dust in the water so I want to make sure that is all rinsed off before I continue. Been going over the whole insert with a wide soft brush while full dislodging any residual crap. Quote Link to comment
Halo_003 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Wow this is super cool, never seen a reef tank with a wall like this. 1 Quote Link to comment
jaynkeel Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 Wow this is super cool, never seen a reef tank with a wall like this. I aim to please , lol, but seriously thanks for the positive reinforcement. 1 Quote Link to comment
jaynkeel Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 Another reason I went with the portrait tank than a cube. I think the tall profile makes it possible. Gives the illusion in person of a much larger tank. Also once I kick this cold am in the process of making a custom mag cleaner that will blend into the rockwork when docked, it's gonna look cool.

tjwaggoner Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Just came across this and wanted to say, very nice tank. I'm really impressed. Makes me want to start a project on a small tank and try it out. Quote Link to comment
stefalopod Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Hiya, Clever idea! I would love to know how it's going! Quote Link to comment
mpad Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Stupid question: we just banned pu foams from our construction projects because of health and environmental reasons. And we minimized the use of epoxy sealants. Ain't this stuff toxic? Won't it dissipate into water? In the EU there are dead fish displayed on the cans ? But it looks very cool ? Quote Link to comment
