StevieT Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Nice new tank. About time you got rid of that POS RSM. Did you loose your black and white clown? She died a few years ago. Came home and she was barely alive in the surface skimmer. She became Milorganite and now is on my lawn. Quote Link to comment
Lawnman Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 My black and white looks like yours. I have had her 5 years. She was 2 years old when I got her. Quote Link to comment
StevieT Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 I should have gotten another one but wanted to do something different. I really like them. She was the logo for inTank I took a picture of her and digitally traced the shape. Quote Link to comment

flypenfly Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 So my sales rep from IM calls me today. In the course of the conversation he mentions they are dropping a new tank. Same huge rear chambers like the IM 30 & 38 yet 12" longer than the IM 16. So it's like the 16 only longer. WTF I say should have waited another month to set up the inTank office aquarium........ Grrrrr Interesting, so the 16 is 24" already I think. I wonder if that means they're going to offer a 36" under 20 gallons? Quote Link to comment

I wonder if that means they're going to offer a 36" under 20 gallons?He mentioned it will be like 24 gallons. It will have deeper chambers like the 30 & 38. I didn't ask many details it was more like hey Steve, were coming out with a new tank and you don't have to create a new pn for a basket so lets all hold hands. I want one of these, link pleaseI had three in my parts bin for years. Finally found a use. I think they came with a tv. Check electrical areas of a hardware store or interweb. lol, i wish i was design inclined to be able to maintain wires... every time i try i just ziptie every thing together, its clean, then later when i need to move or swap one, i have to unzip them all laf...... love the new look!Use Velcro strips. You can wrap the cords tight but if you need to undo it's a snap, and easy to bind back up. http://www.amazon.com/Velcro-Reusable-Self-Gripping-Inches-90924/dp/B000F5K82A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1361725740&sr=8-3&keywords=velcro+cord+wraps Quote Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 thanks, i will give it a try!... its difficult for me because my tank is on a Ikea bookshelf with 4 open square holes for decor, and 4 slots under those but with baskets... the top 4 have a bunch of decor and stuff inside but you can still see wires everywhere behind, especially in the far right one where my mp10, tunze, and dj strip are located lol Quote Link to comment
StevieT Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 I have something similar to that, it has 4 open holes and two have baskets. Block off the back of the holes. Or buy an actual tank stand next time Quote Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 well this was a spur of the moment thing after visiting a LFS one random day, and this bookshelf was already in our house. and when i got the bug, i started with that biocube 14, remember?? lol then i had Chris @ pico build me a custom rimless to fit on the same bookshelf... the next tank is a much larger rimless with stand and sump...

StevieT Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Magnetic Switch Install: Screw waiting for the magnetic switches to arrive. I noticed that the ADT security system from the previous tenants use the same thing. You never know what you can find when you look around. Both of these wires are negative. One goes to the transformer and the other to the negative wires of the lights. The positive wires are all hooked together. 4 Quote Link to comment

StevieT Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Sliding ATO reservoir install: I don't know why I did this, but I was sick of sliding out my last reservoir on the RSM. This took way too much time to build, tight spaces are hard to get power tools to fit into and it's totally custom. Still at the office at 9pm on a Sunday.... Should pay off in the end, much easier to fill this way. Need to give it a coat of paint and include a handle on the front. Spacer board installed and painted. Need this since the door when open is in the way Auto soft closing mechanism: 1 Quote Link to comment
