littlebuck70's New fish room

[Melt]

wait is there any way you can put the door on the side..i think the door take away for the tank..just my 2 cents

 

[littlebuck70]

I know it does but the only way that its can go.

what are the top two openings for. are they going to be closed off some how?

 

[SaltyFlip]

Wow that room is looking great. I can just drool over how good it will look with everything set and the tank filled with nice little and big "creatures". Great Job!

 

[littlebuck70]

Ok well its been a little while since i posted a pic.

Been working like crazy.

Also found out that this tank is all tempered glass. So drilling it was out of the question. 3/4" bottom and 1/2" elsewhere. Guess the tanks are not built like they use to be. Got to love older tanks.

Rock is all in and got some things in there just waiting to rip down my 125 and move everything over.

Looks good... I am sure the doors in the front on top come in handy... When I installed my in-wall display, I closed the entire front off because I wanted it to look more like a picture. Now, when I have to get in the tank, I have to do it from the back, and it's a lot harder... Nice to have access from the front...

Looks great. Can't wait to see more... Keep the pictures coming...

 

[littlebuck70]

I don't have any good coral pics but will get some. I'm waiting for my friend to come over to take some pics for me.


Also i wanted to do the same thing with no doors but when the tank was sitting there i was like there is no way ill be able to reach something if it falls to the front of the tank or no real way to get the mag float in front.

But the doors make life much easier.

Hey that tank & system looks very good ,Boy my back still hurts LOL.

 

[Bob 1000]

Well finally got the tank in and man is this thing heavy.

3/4" tempered bottom as well as the back.

Got to love oceanic tanks. Nothing like a well built tank.

Where are the drains and returns going on a tempered back and bottom.. Do you plan on drilling the sides???

 

[littlebuck70]

Im running overflow boxes right now. Then my friend built me a lil contraption that will replace them.

In this pic u can see a lil of the overflow boxes and return pipes.

One of the 100 gallon stock tanks.

Stock #2 just holding rock and some corals right now.

Gutted a aqua trader light. Replaced the ballasts with 250 ice caps.
