zoaddict Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Evening all Here,s my Tank build, It all started in october 2009. I wanted a sumped tank and the weir on the back of tank. I knew the sump had to be as big as poss, and maintaining the sump would definately be an issue. I decided to fit draw runners to the bottom of the cabinet. I got the oak free from a mate here,s a couple of pic,s of the cabinet. Almost done Here,s a pic of the tank and plumbing More pic,s in a mo Mick Link to comment
zoaddict Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Well next was a wet test on the draw runners 41 litres in the sump and the draw works great, the runners are good for 45kg,s Wet test tank and plumbing More pic,s follow Mick Link to comment
