Can't wait to see this come together. It's awesome to build your tank with your house. Water supply and drains would make maintenance a lot easier though.

Skills, can't wait to see more.

So here is what the sump, ATO, and new overflow wall will look like. More than likely the frag section in the sump will turn into a fuge.

Excellent work, @litenyaup! Reminds me of when I built my canopy and stand for my 125.

Will be watching this one as you progress.

Thanks a bunch!


As stated before everything will be colored the same....blue, white. I have my plumbing parts to go with that and because I’m ridiculous and OCD the handles on valves will be painted the same colors as shown.

Very impressive DIY work all the way around.

I like the reactor and dosing containers.

The stand and hood great job.

Here is the wire track I’m going to use to hide all the wires. Also the fans I’ll be using for air flow and to keep the temp down. I have 1 with 3 fans, 2 with 2 fans, and 4 single fans. There is a controller with temp probe to control the fan speeds.

So the driveway is cleared back to the property. We will be meeting with the builder this week to finalize everything and start clearing the rest of property. We are prob 8 months out for the house to be completed. Then the fun will begin but I’m hoping to have everything needed so the build of the tank/ system will be fast.

I have also decided I’m going to do a separate frag tank I’ll build, I just need to figure out dimensions. Was thinking a 24”x 24”x 10” tall and not sure if I want to tie it into the display filtration....any thoughts on that?

Here are a few pics of the driveway so far. It’s 776’ long...second pic is just zoomed of the first one.

Very nice work! If I had a fish room, I would give you some advise, but alas I don't. I'm sure you'll get lots of good input from others though!

Line the driveway with ponds and a moat!

There is actually a natural creek that runs along side the drive way. Can’t wait it’s gonna be great to get the tank back up and running!

 

[litenyaup]

Well it’s been a while so I figured I would update the thread. The driveway is complete, and the area for house is cleared.

Also I picked up a few items for the tank build and sat down with @Fishfinder and came up with what is going to be done in the rough stage of building. I’m going to do a full apex ran system, water changes and all.

Nice secluded lot!

 

[JumboShrimp]

Simply amazing, from top to bottom... No one person should be allowed to have such talent! “Color matched” accessories on top of everything else (lol)—those fish will feel like Princes and Princesses.... congrats!

 

[Fishfinder]

Speed this up. I'm ready to build. The ideas in my head are amazing;Wacky

Ya we got 2.5 acres and are stoked! After house is done the rest of the property is going to be cleared.
