YUP....... Gets it right up out of your way when working on the tank....

It's a little tricky though, Those hindges only come in 14" door is 20" JUST sits up there. I think I have to add a little weight to the top end. I little bug I have to work out yet.

So heres how I fixed the bug........

I took an old pry bar that I got from my Grandfather many many years ago......flatened it out and routered a space for it at the top of the door on the inside.........works great .......and a piece of history inbeded in the tank stand to boot........Kinda cool

Hello All.......

I have a new found respect for people that choose to put in a new tank. The work involved is incredible.

So lets get to the tank:

Here is the backing I have gone with. It's vinyl with clear mac-tac. I had 4 hands helping it went well and with about one hour of working out the bubbles it was smooth as glass. If this is the look your after, I highly recommend it....

The Back



In The Tank



Full Frontal $%^&$



The stand is (as you can see) back from paint. Great job Rob (Majestic) thank you

Well the tank is in and running, sofar only a couple of loses still a day to day thing.
Will update soon with pics and how this move was done.....

Richard, nice job. What are the three way intakes for? Or why are there strainers on the returns?

Hey Troy......

Yes....there intakes for the closed loop. 3 strainers to 2 1in lines that Y into a Mak-4. I split it up this way to cut down on the sucking power in the tank.
