Kalkreactor built by the same gentleman making my tank

 

[stylaster]

also today the bottom was put on. Friday the extra trim will be routed off and the coast to coast overflow box will be put on. then if all goes according to plan it will have water in it by next weekend!

Overflow box is done!

The beast that will power the system, makes my hand look really small

Will the overflow box have any additional bracing or support? Seams like a lot of weight to be just welded to the back.

Build looks great. How soon until the water test?

 

[stylaster]

Use a two part epoxy to put the overflow box on, so im hoping it will hold. Water test next weekend!

 

[Peppie]

Two part epoxy, or 2 part weldon 40-42?

 

[stylaster]

Im thinking it was a weldon, it came in an applicator you pushed it down it combined in a nozzle and then you layered it down on the acrylic. Very stink stuff and makes you a bit light headed. Sorry im not more precise i didnt look too close at what the tank builder was using

Anyone know how large of a hole i would have to drill to create a siphon break in a 1.5" pipe? This is for my 1.5" seaswirls i dont want them to back siphon. Thank you
