So I went and borrowed a truck from work and went and got the new tank. I couldnt let it sit there all week.

Here are the unload pics.

and the silicone work looks good too!

Well now I need to figure out what to do for the return. The overflow doesnt have a hole in it so I will have to drill one once I get my loc line. I ll figure something out. I am hoping to be putting water in thursday.

Did they forget the hole for the return?

 

[mojo]

no it is in the glass just not in the acrylic. You have to request it. I just didnt. Not a big deal I ll just have to drill a hold in the acrylic or notch out two of the pieces in the overflow.

 

[Troylee]

it's prolly better that way, if your handy.... don't want holes everywhere you cant use..;) mojo can handle it...

 

[mojo]

lol I am sure itwont be an issue. just havent got to that point yet. bought plumbing today.

Looks awesome man!

FYI, check out Oceans Motions Omni nozzles unless you're in love with locline. Lower footprint, more options, looks better ;)

I have one of those on my 75. It works very well. When I initially installed it I forgot to push it down into the water and it was aimed just over the rim of my tank. I plugged the return pump back in and the water shot over me and hit the wall about 7-8 feet away no problem. :ooh:

you will like them.. here is a pic of my old tank with them, they are fully adjustable...

 

[Troylee]

there basically the same thing in a spa and that is what they were made for we just picked them up for our hobby lol....i wouldnt build a tank any other way after using them...it really just a bulkhead with a ball that swivels in there to point the flow...you can remove the ball for easy cleaning and switch it to locline if you like but i personally hate the stuff it's ugly imo..

I like those but Ill have to see what I come up with, with what I already ordered. I never thought about those though. IT would have to be towards the top or it would back siphon a lot.

It's not bad but I have a cure for almost zero with no check valves... I have to find the drawing of it thou.. It uses a PVC "y" attached to the back that will break the sphion..

 

[mojo]

that would be cool to see
