svvad Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I love that tank, I have been wanting one since I got into fresh water planted tanks several years ago. ADA is a great company, just wish they had more of a presence in the US. I like your idea of the clean look without painting the back, there is a guy on here, Jemram who has a similar cube tank, I think he drilled the bottom and used a canister filter for all of his flow and it works great for him. huuummmm .... ADA is based IN houston TX Link to comment

Dr.Fumanchu Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Yeah I saw that in their website, they must have opened that office in the last year. In 2005 I was trying to buy a tank and a CO2 system, you could only get them from their office in Italy. Link to comment
RP Beesh Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 haha. right know i have a 4" pvc and jam in 2xmj1200 for flow and 1xmj1200 for the skimmer, and 1 150w sealth vise heater. the skimmer will be built in the pvc pipe. the only thing you would see is the 4" pvc pipe. maybe put my lr around it to hide it.

Travis Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Fusion spray paint causes ALOT of bad algae IMPE. Why didn't you just get a black pipe? Link to comment

soundman Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I like that PVC skimmer/heater & power head enclosure. That's a really cool idea. Link to comment
oogie Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I am so jelous of you! ADA tanks are amazing! Nice and clean! If i get my next tank, if i get my next tank, it will be ADA or Elos. Man, you should get a sump. That tank and stand is too beautiful to stick that thick pipe in there. I mean I have PVC fetish but, that doesn't go too well with that beautiful tank. Even my current light, when I made it I completely copied their design. Here is ada light Here is my light LOL Link to comment
Helfrichs Chick Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 DUDE I will pay you to make a light for my ADA. And I am dead serious. IM me if your interested. And as for skimmer, ack. All I have is a powerhead, and a small tronic heater in my ADA. Works like a charm. Link to comment
RP Beesh Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 this 37g will have a high bioload wit fish so a skimmer is a must i just dont want to drill it dont want to worry about any leak when i finish the pvc it wont look like one Link to comment
RP Beesh Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 finish the skimmer take the pix tommow Link to comment
Tentacles Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 do you think if i made an overflow out of thick pvc cut in half like a U and siliconed it into my wall it would work (im putting together a 29g) and if I painted it and let it dry long enough it would be safe in a tank? Link to comment
bullitt0519 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Not to thread jack But "Tentacles" I did the u shaped pvc in my 1 1/2 gal pico and it works great!!! I love the ada tanks. Good job on the work cant wait to see it done. Here is a link "Tentacles" http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?...102651&st=0 Link to comment
bullitt0519 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Also to "RP Beesh" with the color of the pipe what I did was put a thin layer of super glue gel and sprinkled black sand on it gives it a cool look and no worrys of the paint. You could always use clear silicone insted of super glue. for money wise. Link to comment
