I think we should see some pic's of this 5 year old tank, hint hint!

We did a 4" on the front and back, and about 1.5" on the ends, the COFB's are glued to the top for strength as well. Thanks, J

I'll let you guys know if it goes into a public place or is a private install. J

RF, Don't know if everyone is aware, but Saltwater City has some impressive installs in the area. Some are in some places that you can go for dinner. Elysium Fields is one off the top of my head. They have a boomerang tank, as well as a Large Jellyfish Tank. Saltwater City knows where to go...

RF, Just finished a 73x25x36 steel stand for a returning reef hobbiest up in Snohomish. We used 1.5" square tubing, capped the ends like we always do, and placed 14 "through holes" for adding a Maple Face Frame/Doors in the near future. Hopefully the new owners will provide a Powder Coated...

I'd think you will need a bit more depth. Head pressure is your friend here. J

You ain't seen shavings, that's nothing! See what your floor looks like when you trim 1.5" material. I have gone after it with the dust collector as a shop vac would be like throwing a toothpick into a volcano! J

Make sure those 1.5" drain pipes are supported! Looks great, hope you enjoy your new tank, Jason

RF, A good friend of mine, who is at the top of the Reef Keeping hobby, ordered up a steel stand a few weeks ago. Didn't seem that heavy on paper, they seldom do! The structural steel stand is 72.25x48.25x30, and we used all 2"x2"x 3/16" square tubing. Bricky also wanted to place a piece of...

You are correct, sir! This system will have a remotely located sump, and will have enough room for the drain down. The area that will drain down is 15 gallons, plus the drain down from the display side. As long as the return nozzles are not pointed strait down, there should be minimal...

The COFB covers are black, which helps cut down on stuff growing in there, but there is 4 nice sized access ports to get in there if need be. If a fish gets into the COFB area, I'd just unscrew the Primary drain stand pipes and give them a ride down to the sump. Best waterpark ride ever! :fencing:

Reeffrontiers, Well, Karen and her husband Doug, came to the shop to pick up their new tank. It was nice to finally meet them face to face. What a neat couple, felt like we had known each other for decades! They are excited for the new tank. I bet they have it filling before the night is over...

CFI has tons of plumbing specialty parts. J

Reeffrontiers, Here is a pic of the plumbing... 2-1.5" Primary Drains 2-1" Back Up Drains 2-3/4" Returns You can't get Black sch 40 PVC and Spears fittings at Home Depot, only at CFI. Special run that I got in on! Jason

Raising the bar alright! Anyone can raise the bar even further, we are just a phone call away!

Ok guy's and gal's, Enough yammering about your electronics, we are here to see Karen's tank, right?!?! She has been very patient waiting for her tank. So, here are some pic's. This is one tank I'd run at my house any day of the week. Hmmmmm Pondering the...

Aquarium Engineering, there a sponsor. Check them out!

RF, We have a new slogan at Clear Fabrications, Inc. I don't know why I haven't thought of it sooner. Tell us what you think.... "We turn dreams into reality, one tank at a time." It entered into my brain while building Karen's 205. We are honored to be the builder she chose, and thank...

Reefers, It is a catch 22 being super busy. I can't take pictures of projects before they are gone forever! Leaving everyone hanging....... I got the Nikon out and snapped a few before they were loaded up. This one is going to Steve Bishop of CLASSIC AQUARIUMS, INC near Portland. Our...

I's start fresh and cut the top completely off then machine out a new top using a new piece of cell cast acrylic. If you have a router, and a nice flush cutter, it can be done. I have fixed a bunch of other company's tanks over the years. Best of luck, Jason
