Asylumdown's 275 Tank build

[asylumdown]

Painters are working on the enclosure and the doors for the cabinet are finished.

Mock up pre-paint. The hardware hasn't been installed yet so I just placed the doors in the frames for the pic. The framing panel that will be screwed in after the tank is in is inside on the left:


Inside the tank space is now fully plasticized. The stuff feels almost like rubber. They coated everything, drywall, studs, anything that could be exposed to moisture or humidity.



Back of the doors. This just happened on friday so the coating is still curing. The door on the top left has louvres cut in to it so when the ceiling fan is running, it will draw air from the furthest/lowest point in the cabinet, hopefully keeping moisture in the sump and tank space to a minimum.


If I'm lucky, the tank will be in before Christmas and we can get everything plumbed. Then to cycle! Finally starting to think about scaping options...
