[trillyen]

tell me what ya think

Before,NOTICE THE BOW IN THE LID ON THE CANOPY...IT WAS JUST A THIN PIECE OF PLYWOOD!!!!

THE START OF THE NEW LOOK

A FEW GHETTO MODS TO ADD A COUPLE INCHES TO THE OTHER END OF THE CANOPY THAT WASNT THERE BEFORE....

1ST COAT OF FINISH I WASNT REAL HAPPY WITH...

SO I ADDED ANOTHER..

AND THEN CLEANED THE TANK..

I also cleaned out my 75 gallon tank

Now i just gotta clean out my 55 gl, 40 gl, 2-29 gls, and 45 gl.

and my next move will probably be to go buy another 29 gallon so i can have 1 each under both sides of my 125 gl.

after that comes my big plumbing project in which i have no idea on how to go about doing, SO PLEASE ANY BODY WITH ANY LINKS PICS OR KNOW HOW THAT CAN USE PVC TO PLUMB A TANK PLEASE GIVE ME SOME HELP..

cause im really having trouble finding anything on the internet about plumbing a tank

Much better!!! About the plumbing, we have tons of pics here in either the members showcase forum or tank design forum that will help. Anything specific you're looking for? Closed loop over the tank, through bulkheads etc?

 

[trillyen]

well closed loop

i dont think i need bulk headfs cause my tank isnt drilled

ill have to look for somne pics cause thats really all i need to copy or to come up with a design

trillyen,
See if these links will help with plumbing ideas for the closed loop, they include a lot of pictures and a detailed part list.

http://melevsreef.com/how_to_build.html - parts and instructions

This particular one uses a SWCD Wavemaker but that is optional.
