Another crazy DIY!!! 36 tanks one system...

[Troylee]

This should be a really cool system.... I have been itching for a good DIY and this is it!!! The challenge has risen a 35 in one tank haha... It will be a invert display with 6 tanks stacked into a pyramid shape all plumbed to a common sump.... This thread should be really cool I have never done anything like this but thought it through very well and it should be sweet!!! Plenty of pics to come in this thread...:tongue:

Hard to imagine how nice it'll turn out. Looking Forward into it!

Here is a couple chicken scratch drawings.. It will be 2 tanks on top 8" wide 8" tall and 72" long, divided into 8 sections..
Middle tanks 12wide by 10" tall and 72" long, divided into 6 sections.. Bottom tanks 18" wide 12" tall and 72" long, divised into 3 sections..all on a single stand and plug and play... The foot print of the stand is 40" wide and 72" long... Sorry the drawings look decent on paper but pix make them look horrible.. Just chicken scratch like I said haha...

Sorry I suck on a pc so I can't use google sketch lol.... I gotta have these done in 2 to 3 weeks so it will be a high paced fast thread once I have material... Tanks, stand, and plumbing complete ready to go just plug it in.. He is supplying return pump and skimmer the rest is on me...;)

I assume tanks are acrylic?

awesome, it would make a good breeding system for clownfish.

I assume tanks are acrylic?

Yup all acrylic tanks...:) when I get a little time I will explain more how it's gonna work...
I was faced with a few issues like height and width etc... Also minimal plumbing so the top tanks will drain to the center and the center tanks to the bottom and the bottom to the sump... With a return feeding all the top tanks etc... Arr spent the last 8 hours putting this together in my head... But I see it haha...

[ToXIc]

[skinz78]

Very cool Lee, I can't wait to see the end product!

 

[secretreefer]

nice Lee. good to see the master fab back at work!

 

[Wy Renegade]

Very cool - looking forward to watching this one as well.

 

[Troylee]

They will have led lighting but something cheap since its just inverts and fish no corals.... I just got all the material for the tanks and sent it to my buddy with a cnc router to make my life easier... Tank assembly will start this weekend and should be completed by mid week then the stand goes into action... 1smile1 this is gonna be way cool.... ;)
