I'm definitely getting a tank from them to replace a customer's failed tank. I've been talking to them and I'm very impressed. I just learned from them that someone came out with a process to prep acrylic so that it will bond to silicone. So there is a new generation of 'hybrid' tanks that are out that use acrylic and glass together. No long term studies on it but it means more options are possible for things like internal overflow boxes. end of threadjack...

Well the tank will be here Friday so I will have pics then!

For now a teaser or two of the skimmer and sump. The sump I chose because it was pretty cheap and I needed to save some money. :)

 

[Reef UP]

Awesome skimmer man! Is that middle chamber with that Thingy In it suppose to hint at a frag section?? 

 

[revhtree Verified Admin]

Thant is a refugium section and I am going to keep a few frags in there. :)

It looks smaller in the pic on that stand. Maybe just the way it sits. Can't wait to see more. How you gonna mount the ai's?

Well just got the tank home and the stand will not fit in the door. They made it 2" taller than it was supposed to be! Have yet to uncrate the aquarium. Don't know what to do.

 

[soccerbag]

You have GOT to be kidding Rev? That is crazy. I would be a bit disappointed. Did they make your stand according to your specs or did they "over engineer" it? Bummer!!!

 

[FishScale]

cut the door.

 

[Troylee]

Ouch!!!!!! Do you have a slider you can fit it through??? I have had to take my front door off the hinges a couple times lol.... Maybe a window that can be removed???

 

[revhtree Verified Admin]

Yea the invoice that I signed off on was for a 34" stand. It is 36" exactly. Door is 35" and I have no bigger space than that. Not sure what to do.

 

[soccerbag]

Yeah, it's either cut the door, take out a double window, or rebuild the stand. I had to bring my stand in the door before it was "skinned" as it wouldn't fit through the door otherwise. Not sure what I'll do if we ever move - blow out the door I guess!

I would have a kind word with the stand builder...

 

[revhtree Verified Admin]

No windows big enough and even with the door off the hinge it will not fit. I would have to remove the door and frame which would tear up the door framing and the sheet rock and paint around it.
