Good pump, great suggestion Billy. Marine Depot is very close to me!:bouncer:

Looks nice Doni!
Are you going to sand the stand and what stain are you planning on using?

 

[Woodstock]

I just ordered a new Iwaki 55RTL return pump... thanks again Billy!

Gina, same color as it is (black). Sanding and redoing the stain and polyureathane will make it look like new. Adding new hinges and molding will make it look much nicer.

Woody, DIY Durso stand pipes for the overflows. it will cost you about $5 to build 2.

Woody here is a link to my 120 with a 40gal breeder sump, thought it might help since it is basicly the same setup you are doing. http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/reef-chronicles/11275-cioutlaws-120gal.html

I used a Coralife pump rated at 1200GPH & placed it on the left over styro pad that the tank sits on. It has been very quiet & trouble free since April. Congrats on the new set up!!

Thanks... I remember that thread now. Very nice tank. Nice plumbing work on it.

Cool Doni!! I also built my dursos.. i grabbed the parts list and brought it to a plumbing supply and it was real easy!

I need to add the trim, drill holes in the stand for the overflows, add a few more coats of polyeurathane and then I'll be ready to dry plumb it

I did not want to paint the back glass black so I painted it a dark blue. Very similar to the color on my 90 gal.

I did not want to paint the overflow glass so I taped them off.

[lcstorc]

Looking good.
Can't wait till moving day.

Looks awesome! I was gonna mask off my overflow also but then I didnt think I would ever be able to look back there anyways.

 

[Dentoid]

I truly admire your patience. I guess that is what comes from a seasoned reefer. Looking forward to your creation and learning from your posts!:chair:

Re: Stand & Canopy

Thanks everyone

Brothawolf, I will use a mirror if I ever need to inspect them.

BTW if you dont mine, how much did you pay for ur tank (tank only) i paid $580 plus $100 for over flow kit ($680 total) and i think thats on the high side, did u pay that much?

I just noticed this question
I paid $480 for the tank and the overflow kits are priced at $100 for two.

I was thinking maybe a periscope or you have a very skinny head!
