Marc`s 1k gallon system.

Then was the tank and sump, (not really in that order..)

The sump was an old fiberglass vat that I had for curing live rock a few years back, it needed some heavy work to make it suitable for the new tank.

I had to repair all the old bulkhead holes, and sand gelcoats off for the areas that needed baffles.
It is 370 gallons.

Sanded...excuse the dust on the camera lense









Then, backing for glassing the baffles in, after waxing it up for later removal.



then slid back for next baffle...



Beefin it up abit & patchin holes.





Applying internal baffles to steer water over a central point where the heaters were intended to be (still havent placed them there..lol.)



Then i applied a few more coats of resins and final coats with gel, and then came a bigger fiberglass project....the tank.

Sorry, im slow....I had to make a little wier in my overflow to try and stop these Bangaii Frags from getting sucked into my overflow or skimmer.
Also had to throw together a quick urchin !...well, you can call it a blob of epoxy with gutter gaurd stuck in it if you want to...they still didnt know the difference..







The tank, there was a lot of missing pics here....but heres the idea.





I wanted a coast to coast external overflow on this one.



cutting out the weirs...


placing the perimeter bracing....and cutting out







Pre- fiberglassing....






For the sake of getting up to date, ill refrain from all the tid bits of between coats and get to the final coats.....

Resins and glasshave been laid here, and ready to accept final coats of gel with black tint.







Holes drilled (and later capped..lol)





Gel and epoxy final coats.








Finishing the fish room, individual equipment builds, plumbing changes (many) still to come...
