I think that stand would hold up my house.

I think that stand would hold up my house.

We are in the process of finishing a second story, so I had the contractor pour a thick pad under the stand and tie it with 4' x 4's and headers. :wink:

 

[gimmito]

I had a 4" drain plumbed next to the stand in the garage. This will make water changes a breeze !

 

[gimmito]

I also had 5" duct installed. I plan on utilizing a panasonic whisper quite 800 cfm bath fan to help facilitate in venting the metal halides.

I had a buddy (who is a electrician) install 4 twenty amp circuits for the tank.

Kold Sterile Filter. Keeps essential elements. Filters last 50,000 gallons. 50 bucks to replace them. No wasted water. Great filtered water for the family.

Daddy's lil' helper.

Delivery day ! :wink:

Is that an external overflow on that beast!?!

Close up shot.

 

[roshi719]

:feel_good:That is downright purdy

 

[gimmito]

Is that an external overflow on that beast!?!

Yes it is. It's a full length overflow w/two 1.5" bulkheads on the bottom. I have another one on the other side that will be weld on after we get that bad boy in.

 

[gimmito]

I'm tying some chains to a glue lam that will be attached to a winch.

 

[gimmito]

The winch that saved our backs...sound kinda funny. :snicker:

Backing the tank in.

Attaching straps to winch...my daughter Gabby is giving orders.
