Rev's 400+ Gallon Basement Inwall

[Brew12]

This puts my 125 gallon to shame. Good work Rev!

You are one up on him if your tank is wet!

 

[DJ Monty]

Yaaaay I'm 1400! Do I get a prize?

You get to deliver the water

LOL! Y'all some crazy reefers!

Did some more plumbin last night and still wasn't able to finish. Going to try to get enough done to started running water today. The issue I have is how the plumbing is ran around the corner and is kinda suspended in the air. I am going to have to fabricate something to hold these pipes in place when they get heavy with water.

Not sure if this helps but I used a split ring hanger from lowes. Purchased appropriate rod and drilled/bolted to the ceiling using a nylon spacer you'd find at the hard ware isle. Maybe you can do the same to separate the pipe. Use to split ring clamps and using a rod you can join them together. Cover up the exposed rod with a spacer. Not sure if that makes any sense. Here's a picture of how I'm supporting mine.

Instead of the ceiling, picture another clamp.

Should finish the plumbing on the tank tonight and start adding water tomorrow.

Shut the front door!!

400 gallons. Unless you are storing that much you got days of filling. Let's see some water.

You could add an aluminum or thin wood bracket/post to the stand and use pvc clamps. I used 2x4 and the clamp to support weight of plumbing and gate valves.

Or build a support for the bottom pipe and use dense foam as spacers supporting the upper pipes.

Stop in to see what is going on

Point some of these guys at it.

They will lighten that pipe right up!

Come on guys, I think we can get to 1500 (maybe 1600..) before he gets it wet!!

Might even make it further than that!

I'm wondering if Rev has developed a case of Aquaphobia....

[revhtree]
