350 glass cages build

[gibbers]

Placed my order with joe@ glasscages last week for a custom 72x36x31 build (low e glass on two sides) maybe he can post some as the build moves forward if he is not crazy busy
the tank itself will be part of the basement t we are currently finishing. The front will be viewable by all and the short right side will be visible from my office.

ill get some pics up in a bit as progress is made

Aside from the tank I have a few other things on order
GHL 4 mega set
GHL Mitras 7206 lights and simu-sticks
Bashsea twisted skimmer
Bashsea bio reactor
Bashsea pellet reactor
Bashsea media chamer
Bashsea SS-60 sump
Custom aluminum extruded stand

I look forward to seeing your build. I got a custom tank from glass cages last year. They do really good work. I’m sure you’ll love the new tank!

 

[gibbers]

Thank you! I can’t wait

Sounds like it will be a great centerpiece!

Small update. I heard from Bashsea today and my order is complete. I am happy I was able to support a local Michigan company and I get to pick it all up Monday on the way home from work. My pentair UV shipped today as well as my APIS-300 scrubber. Lights arrived today and controller will be here Tuesday.

Picked up some filtration this afternoon !!

Made some more progress on the basement. The “window” will be my view of the tank from my office. Finished electrical today and ceiling is going up next

Wow following this build cant wait to see more.

I can still remember the day a truck pulled up with my two 150-gallon Glass Cages tanks Joe made for me.

Keep those photos coming— right through water & fish!

Nice dimensions. its good to see some glass cages builds coming up allowing others to get a good feel for their current state of quality.

good luck

Made some more progress in the basement and the extruded aluminum stand stand arrived today. Installed and wired the bathroom fan to pull the moisture outside. Now I just need to put a 4” hole in the house to finish that up

 

[gibbers]

Stand is built, I will need to make some adjustments to my office viewing window. I knew it was going to be needed but wanted to wait until the stand got here. since the stand is only 32” tall, I had them add a cantilevered shelf for the bio reactor and skimmer with room to spare.
Ordered (3) Mobius L2’s today for return, life support and closed loop as well as the GHL driver. Simu-sticks are still not here which is a bit frustrating it it is what it is

coming together and looking amazing

 

[gibbers]

Starting to get everything consolidated, having this stuff all over the house is making the wife less than thrilled lol. Sump, skimmer, Bio reactor on top, four square scrubber, UV, and Mobius pumps underneath still boxed up. GHL equipment is still in our closet for now.

Following along, I think you picked the right company to build your tank. Joe is great to work with along with a lot of other people there in TN on the Glass Cages team

 

[gibbers]

Yeah I’m looking forward to it!
