Here it is. Nothing special, regular glass by a local tank builder, sing larger overflow, two drains one return.

Is the noose in the second pic just in case the tankbuild doesnt go well? JK!! You say it isnt anything special. But Im sure it is just as exciting to have it home regardless. We all know the feeling.

Waz, I hear if you orient the open end of the tank on top, the water stays in longer. Just a tip. :lol:

Exactly what I was thinking.

Reefing, Can't beat the feeling! :wink:

And Wazzel, if you don't mind me asking, how much was the tank with the overflow, holes, and all? And is that 3/4" glass for the sides?

Waz - You move fast. Just get home and now a tank already.

Are you going to drill it for a closed loop or anything?

Use to be a tennes ball bumper for the wife's van. My kids figured it would be better used as a fetch toy for the dogs. It is nice finally getting it home.

Tank was $870 after tax, holes, overflow and bulkheads. Only th bottom is 3/4". The sides are 1/2" the bracing and lineing of the overflow is 3/8". It is heavey. That is why it is sitting on end. Wife and I could not lift it out of the van so we just pivited it over and stood it up.

Tank has been ready since the first week in May. I was finally able to get down to pick it up. The place it was built is about an hour from my house.

No plans for a closed loop. I do not feel like messing with all the plumbing this time. I am going to use a couple of streams. I still have to make up my mind if I am going to use 2x6100's or 2x6200's. With the 6200's I could turn them down if I need to. If I go with the 6100's I could add more later if I needed to.

Gotcha - I would go with the 6200's and turn them down - less stuff in the tank.

 

[Anonymous]

That is my thinking. I will also have 2xpenductors on the return.

Thats one big tank! Nice! Keep us updated.
