looking good...

That looks awesome!!! can't wait to see it up and running. Sweet floors!

some updates images and videos





















where is what is might look like with lights

video of the Ocean Motions at work.

nice build, I like all the work so far. If i missed it is that a glass holes overflow?

yes, its a glass holes box rated at 1500GPH which will be ran by a reef flo dart. the tank is a standard 125 that i drilled for the box and the ocean motion with a reef flo barracuda. so far there is a hum but its much quiter then my moded MJ.

well , i havent posted in a while. still slow progress, but here are some updates.

put all the baffles in the sump, got a skimmer. Precision Marine Bullet 1


picked up one reflector couple weeks back. have two more that came in that i will pickup in a couple hours.

wow, looking great! i love the inwall, very nice.
great job on the floor also

Looking great! Love the tank location!

ahayes13: ya, i had fun doing the floor

rev, i guess its not really an inwall more live a room devider.

its been fun , looking forward to filling, soon

well i have a lot of little things to do, and this little things can cost just as much as a big one. i should have a lot done in the then next week or two. for starters the close loop feed and big and ugly as is, here is a pic of it


here is one with the strain covers. looking a little better but not enough.


here is it now with pond foam covering most. looking even better. i may cover the foam with a 2 part epoxy and sand. i still need another can to finish the other side gets me one more step closer. i did leave some water on the bottom so the foam doesnt stick to the glass, we'll have to wait 24 hours and see.

Haha.. very cool! Thanks for sharing. Al

more stuff done, thanks everyone.
i picked up another can of pond foam from lowers this time, differnt brand, still black. you can clearly see the diffence in the two. the lower foam looks rounder and smoothers then the HD foam. i used a mix of sand and crush coral to cover the foam.

another unfinished look

after i epoxied the foam.

I love what you did with the foam, very creative. Also Pink Floyd rocks!

Nice tank and video. The soundtrack is not only awsome but also appropriate!:wink:

part of the next step is done. ran out of expoy. sense the tank will be barebottom i wanted not to see the glass. i cut up the shower board and covered it with epoxy, sand, and crush coral.
real easy to cut up the shower board , score it with a blade and fold it.

after covering it. i used the 5min epoxy this time same price and yes it was 5 min like it said. the 60 min stuff took a lot longer to harden. i only had enough to cover a about 1/3 what i needed and ran out. :<

and in the tank

well sense it was way too boyant to use i had to redo it. i start by removing little at a time and tie wraping LR to the CL feed. took me around 6 try of removing replace with LR and testing. i ended up removing 85 to 90% of the foam. even after remove so much it is till boyant but doesnt float to the top of the tank any more.
all the foam i removed.

the cl feed after i wasfinished with it and refoamed some of the areas where you could see the tie wrapes.

and once again covered the foam with epoxy, sand and crush coral.
