Phixion Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Whoa, Potty (Paul) has nice tanks!! Link to comment
juin21 Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Whoa, Potty (Paul) has nice tanks!! Poty didn't make it. He had originally bought it for his gf, but I guess his gf didn't want it. Poty gave me a good deal on the tank. He had pretty good plumbing too, but i stripped it because I wanted more flexibility with my plumbing. I'm trying to run everything off one pump to keep the heat down. Link to comment
BlackOcean Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Very nice tank. Did you build the stand and canopy? Link to comment
juin21 Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Very nice tank. Did you build the stand and canopy? I did not make the hood or the stand. I just installed the lights which are described above and did the plumbing. Had to use acrylic glue to install the lights, since the new tek 5's do not match up with the brackets under the hood. No big deal tho. Also installed two computer fans, one in the hood and one pushing air into the sump/stand. I'm going to make a custom 27 x 3.5 x 10.5 inch freshwater resevoir for my ATO with acrylic. I have the reefgeek ATO just sitting around with a maxijet 900. Link to comment
