FloorLord Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 that thing looks radical, a G3 on that thing will kick arse! Nice, taggin along for this one, dude! D Link to comment
Kool-cat Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Looks good. Great shallow tank for great current and light penetration. Link to comment
proraptor2 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I think its kind of weird they still built the tank with that dumb brace though being so short and all... Link to comment
ebin Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 3600 gph flow. 260watts of pc. I gotta figure out how many gallons the sump is...I believe it is about 30 gallons. I will take photos tonight. I like that the brace is wide this may help the fish stay in the tank. (a big problem I had with the frameless) I am putting some serious tang-age in there.

I like the black ones better. they had purple too but I felt like a girl if i would have got them. lol Link to comment
shivametimbas Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 true, the blue ones are rare but those black death thermos are the shiznit. Link to comment
ebin Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Well I am a bit relieved to see everything will fit nicely in the sump. however the sump is just a bit too big to fit in the stand so I will have to cut an inch off the back wall of the stand. nothing will be messed with cosmetic or strength it just barely does not make it in. easy fix. all that is left is some minor plumbing and fill it with water. I do want to add a uv sterilizer and a calicium reactor but those can be put in later. Link to comment
shao-lin nano Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Where are the thermos from? Link to comment
ebin Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 the thermoses are from thermos I bought a case but lost out as I was unaware they don't have a good seal and they leak they were not cheap and no I was unable to get a refund. But like anything in life you learn. i think my new m&m thermoses seem pretty solid. wish I could have gotton water in here today guess it is just not in the cards....maybe tomorrow Link to comment
ebin Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 well the morning is d-day gonna get the beast plumbed and hopefully filled with water. Link to comment
