Following for sure!!! Can't wait!!!
Can you elaborate more on your method for building your own tanks? Would be a fun DIY project

Hi Jtgordon,

Actually its a pretty simple DIY project, but it need some practices to make a good seams/silicone joints.

First of all you need to cut the glass according what size you want the tank to be.

the key of this glueing method, is to give some space, then allow the silicone to fill those space.

as you can see from above pic, I used blue colour clamp holder (not sure what you call it there) to adjust and make some hollow space between the glass joints.

Then you must inject the silicone glue nozzle to that space, you may need to give a pressure when injecting the glue, so that glue can insert nicely.
After that use/push your finger to make those seams neat.

That is the basic i think, but you need to build your own tank to understand more what i mean.

best regards,
Irsan

So far absolutely amazing. I don't think I could ever get a tank that big. It's intimidating. Best of luck getting it up and running

Great progress! Looking AWESOME!!! Keep up the good work. When are you planning on doing a leak test and getting this bad boy wet?

 

[VegasRick]

Very clean, looking good. I haven't been able to figure out what is the purpose of 2 valves between the overflows on the frag tanks? It would make sense to me if there was a union between them.

Do you understand how very jealous I am of it all so far? Do you???

Updates? The suspence and picture withdraw is killing me :tongue:

 

[jverna1]

I love the schedule 80 plumbing. Very nice and expensive. I see you have three drains in the overflow, are you planing on using the bean animal method? I have a bean animal overflow and it is really quiet.

 

[skinz78]

Wow what a beautiful well thought out build so far!

 

[Ltoutjian]

Still looking great, clean and very organized piping
