adinsxq Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 wow, you really should use REAL bulkheads. that silicone thing you're doing isn't going to work. Link to comment
Cam barr Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 yea bulheads are a must Link to comment
gregbot9000 Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 haha yea i know...i gave the DIY bulkhead a shot, ive done 2 water tests already and nothing is leaking..so will see how it holds. heres pic of my overflow Link to comment
gregbot9000 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 so i filled up my tank...24 hours later my DIY bulkheads failed. i shouldnt have took the chance =(. i drained everything and im going to redo the the bulkheads with real ones this time like everyone said lol. in the mean time ive been working on my lights. im setting up 4x24w T-5's.. i ordered 2 48" Icecap SLR then cut them in half.

Spartacus Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I really like the height of your stand. From the pictures it looks like it will put your tank close to eye level. I wish more stands were standardized at that height. Link to comment
proraptor2 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 OMG! I cant believe you didnt use bulkheads.....Funniest thing I have ever seen! Nice stand though Link to comment
Withers Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Wow, nice work on the stand! It looks very professional. Its a lot taller than I like, but different strokes for different folks! Link to comment
svvad Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I height of the stand is good... I'm 6'4" and tired of bringing the chair over to seat down and look at tanks... all the stands I build are 4 foot tall Link to comment
Kombucha Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 wonderful job on building the stand! Link to comment
