Thanks Eric
Wow!!! That is my dream tank. Very very awesome!
Msigler, thank you for the kind comments
Hello Juan, nice to hear form you again. That's the best tank I have seen in Guatemala.... Nice job.
When are you planning to put all the system to work?
Hope to see it running soon
Hey Harold, nice of you to stop by, thanks for the kind comments, I hope the tank will be up and running within one month, I'm still missing the sump (which is getting built), and other little task which are needed to complete the project.
----- Canopy Function -----
Well, here a couple of updates, first, to show you some of the canopy Function as I think I didn't post pictures before.
Open Top:
To hold the structure opened, I installed an automobile hood rod which serves its purpose:
And, it works almost the same as in a car when putting the rod out:
Also, here is an image of the lower compartment, used for daily simple tasks (Feeding, front glass cleaning, etc):
And the fully opened canopy:
------ RockScaping ------
After several tries and different methods, I think I have finally landed on the rockscape I wanted:
I used electric tubing for the inner skeleton, I liked this tubing better for a couple of reasons, first it's thinner than regular water PVC and secondly it's gray, which can be harder to spot with a black background, still I will cover most of the spots where the tubing is shown using Putty:
And the final result:
Now, the challenging part will be to put this rocks inside the tank in the same exact design, I will identify each rock with a pencil so I can rebuild it without any problems.
