Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

To me, krylon fusion flat black works better than anything if you are going to use a black background.

The blue in that nano is all Krylon Fusion Patriot Blue (also happens to be the same exact color as the blue furniture grade PVC) :-)

Good to know. I used that PVC so I can match without buying more. ;)

Here is an example. I slightly mis-measured on one of my drains going into my sump and had to use some white flex PVC to make up for my mistake. Painted it with the blue Kylon Fusion and this is how it came out. Lucked out there! :-)

That's a dead on match to me. (I am color blind but, it would show anyway)

I agree that’s a perfect match.

I'm plumbing stalking...

Talk about panic attack. Pipe height, gph, weir height...so much for me to mess up!

You guys make it look easy. It sure isn't to a noob.

It is if you believe it to be. Nothing here is complicated, it just seems that way because you're unfamiliar with it. After you setup this one tank, you will have a good idea and firm opinion on what you like/what you would do next time/ and even how to help people in your situation.

It just seems complicated, I promise, it's as simple as it can be.

It’s only water. What goes up, must come down. :-)

 

[Katrina71]

@Rakie I guess you are right. I hope you are right!

The coming down part is what worries me :)

I am going to check on insurance coverage before we go live...

Learning from pics and reading is much harder for me than hands on.

@Fin Seriously, you have some amazing plumbing. The DIY tank is awesome! I'm envious. Someday I'd love to have your skill level.

 

[Katrina71]

I would like y'all's opinion. Stand height. This is in a corner next to a window. Andrew can manage the height fine. Do y'all think the top edge of the stand(overhang) would look best 1.5 or 2" above the window sill, or even with it?

Look at it this way - I have been making plumbing mistakes since about 1983. Ha. :-)

You are gonna pass out when you see all the plumbing that will be in the store.

LoL!

I'd love to watch that being installed.
