Frankie · 04-05-2005, 01:29 AM

Ok, I se my pic's are working again. I got home late so i'll have to post new pic's this week. sorry all

here's the one i have of the tank after drilling. i ordered the clear pvc and joints today for the spray bars and will be getting them on wendsday. So i'll be sure to have pic's galore by then.

Travis · 04-05-2005, 02:37 AM

Sorry about that FFrankie, I upgraded the gallery software and had to fix the "insert photo" hack. Should be all good now.

Frankie · 04-05-2005, 08:48 AM

Thanks Travis

BTW, I dig the nexus blue.

Sorry everyone. I didn't get the clear pvc yet. I will have it tomorrow and will also be finishing up the sump/refugium. So i will have the pictures for you all to see over the weekend. I am doing a favor for a friend of mine who is a welder. In exchange for doing his crown mouldings in his kitchen he wants to make a custom stand for me with braided stuff tacked onto it. it would be a stand that the tank would slide into from the rear covering the plastic trim and running up the side corners then back around the rim. Im considering doing it. I think the iron stand framing the tank and refugium would look cool, simple and not so over bearing as the entertainment center i was planning on making. I could install black glass doors on the sides of the refugium hiding the overflow area and return area. Also i could put a upward swinging hatch made of glass or metal, (with etching on glass, a fish maybe? or some metal design on a metal hatch) to access the top to the refugium. Either way, the refugium is going to be on display under the main tank. fill you all in as i go

Well after a long night I got the sump/refugium finished! I picked up all the water for the make up, 46 gallons of http://www.naturesocean.com/nutri_seawater_info.htm and the rest of the lockline. The clear pvc and joints came in but I didn't have time to go get them because my truck is down, (valve job

and the wifes pissed because im working out of her car) so I'll get that tomorrow. I'll ask my friend Mark to lend me his camera tonight when I get home so I can get pic's of the set up. Last night SPYKES came over and gave me my first sps for the new tank. Thanks Dave! Well I need to get to work so I can get back and start the set up. If all go's well I will be transfering the 90 gal. over on monday night.

KimPossible · 04-10-2005, 10:26 AM

I like the refuge on display! I cant wait to see the stand, it sounds nice.

mnreefman · 04-10-2005, 11:59 AM

mkpaulson · 04-10-2005, 06:31 PM

FFrankie good luck in setting up your tank. I am really jealous of your coast-to-coast overflow. did you already purchase the ampmaster pump? keep the pics coming!
