    Help, How Can I Prevent Mold

    So far there has been a lot of good ideas. I'll probably just have to list the pros and cons of each one and base my desicion from there. I think what I might end up going with is the bathroom fan and vent idea. I really see that one working good. Once again thanks thus far.

    Help, How Can I Prevent Mold

    Not a bad idea from any of those comments. Tell me more about the vent coming from the hood. How would I do something like that? Theres a wall leading outside right next to the tank so the vent wouldn't need to travel too far.

    Help, How Can I Prevent Mold

    Thanks everybody, that seems like good info so far. However I was under the impression that if I ran a dehumidifier that perhaps eventually it would just start sucking water out of my tank. One time when a tank of mine flooded about 80 gallons of water on my carpeted floor, I ran a dehumidifier...

    Help, How Can I Prevent Mold

    Hey everybody, I was just wondering if there are any secrets to help prevent molding and such things which your tank can create in your house. I'm currently getting ready to set up very large tanks in my basement, where I have one window that I can always keep open. I'm also currently planning...

    Oh definetly. I love sharks and stingrays Black tips and blue spots, ever since i was a little kid. Theres nothing else that i would want more, If i wanted anything else i would get a smaller tank, because only something like sharks would need a tank this size. And this is still too small.

    would this tank design work

    Yes, in the basement on the ground. Thats why i want it 3 ft high becuse if there is 1 or 2ft of concrete on the bottom then i think the view would be perfect.

    would this tank design work

    thats exactly how i thought i should do it, I was worried that once the concrete hardened though that the pvc would break or crack, or am i just imagining that.

    would this tank design work

    So far the tank is going in the basement. theres no other place it could be put due to the wieght, so that creates an easy decision. I have a 9400 dolphin pump to run on it. I'm not quite sure how i want to do the plumbing yet, that is really going to take some thought. Do any of you know how i...

    I'm thinking maybe 1500, i'm not sure what to build it out of yet, all options are still open, wood, concrete, or fiberglass, i just don't know.
  16. CJG

    would this tank design work

    No reason i wouldn't use fiberglass, i didn't even know that that was an option, please let me know what you think. Whats easier to work with, whats less expensive, stronger....etc.

    would this tank design work

    I just like everyone else has suffered the snow ball effect starting with a tiny 20 gallon to wanting something huge. I constantly think of ways to build new tanks. What i want to do is build a tank with only one side having either glass or acrylic, and the other three sides and bottom built out...
