Rf, I thought a lot more people would be asking or commenting on the Ghost OFB. Is anyone one here anymore? Could be the sun is out? J

RF, The Quarter round stand is all painted, and has the double sided plastic laminate plywood fused on. We used some black aquarium silicone. It's never going to come off!

RF, Made some good progress today on the 210. 95% finished with the plumbing. Partly, I'm a little OCD on this kind of thing. Two 1.5" primary drains, one back up 1.5" drain, and a 1" return line. We have 5% left, due to parts being inbound. Check it out! Slight issue for all who are...

RF, Finally, got the tank pic's for you all! Tank is a 60x36x25, all 1/2" clear 225 gallon. The OFB or overflow box is a Ghost style. Basically a 5 sided, short in height box, with bulkheads with double gaskets out the back. Check it out! Enjoy, Jason And this is the best part for...

It will be covered up 90% of the time, but will have removable panels when serious service need to be done. There are shades of blue all over the immediate area. Pic's do not do it justice. It is sharp. When you order anything from CFI, you can have it your way, just like Burger King! J

RF, We picked up the Steel Stand from our Powder Coaters this morning, and it looks SWEET! I love this Blue! A quick stop by Eric's house, and it's ready to put in place. Tell us what you think? Jason

All I know it is for one of their Service Clients. As a builder, I don't get to see the final install too often. I'll keep you posted if it's someplace public to check out. Jason

RF, We just completed a See Through 235 for Saltwater City. The front and back are clear with the ends being Continuous Overflow Box panels. You will see a 72x27 viewing panel, but the tank is actually 84". 3/4" Body, with 1/2" top and bottom panels. Should be a cool build. Here is a shop pic...

RF, Got a few pic updates off the camera today. We had the plumbing almost done, but the German Valves that I like to use have been back ordered forever. But to give you an idea. All sch 80 Spears fittings/unions. I made a pair of pipe clamp mounts for the back board. All high grade...

I don't know everything as it this tank was ordered from a service company. It is going into a Seafood Restaurant. It will have freshwater fish with a canister filter. They loved the quality and fairly local, no need to ship something in from out of the area. At the end of the day, they...

Thanks! Both pieces are the same blue. Just looks that way a bit in my shop. I will tell you that it is a PITA to put on. I will have to get better. J

RF, We just finished a fun tank today. 30"x25"x36" tall tank with 1" body and 1/2" Top and Bottom panels. This tank is bulletproof, no really it is! Client wanted a Dark Blue back and Left end, so we used vinyl to make it so. Blue Acrylic in 1" thickness would have tripled the cost of this...

Dave, Most people use 1" sheet of foam between the sump and floor. I have welded in rails to put 3/4" plywood. Lots of options. Jason

RF, Just wanted to start a build thread on a Custom 225 Steel Stand/Acrylic Tank for Eric. As some of you know we have a mountain of work right now, and were firing on all cylinders to get quality product out to you guys. We dug deep, and welded up the stand today, so it can get out to...

RF, We finished the steel work today on the Quarter Round. She turned out spot on. Was concerned with the radius pieces being tweeked a bit, but was pleasantly surprised that they were right on the money. Here are some pic's. Here is a pic of the 1/2" tube that we use for the "through...

RF, We just started a fun build, a 200 Gallon Quarter Round Reef. Our client wanted a unique aquarium that matches some of the cool details in their house. They have several curved wall, and what a better accent than a Quarter Round Reef! Today we started the steel stand. We bent 2 pieces of...

Look into the Neptune Apex feeder. If you have an Apex, they are cool. You can use your smart phone to feed your fish. Good luck, J

I bet CFI could get you set up. Check them out, their a sponsor here! J

Reefers, Worked on the 210 all day today, sooo much fun! Installed the wire chase today, going to be nice and neat, no rats nest of wired on this build! We installed 2 3" smart fans as well. They are a variable speed fan that has a temperature probe, the higher the temp, the faster it...

RF, Spent some time on the lathe today. Doing some basic machining on the Radion standoffs. We are using some 5/8" Aluminum rod, cutting them a touch longer than 4" with the band saw, then chucking them up in the lathe, squaring them up, and setting the length to 4.000". Camera wanted to...
