Default Update March

An update finally.


The metal Frame has been leveled and bolted to the cement floor.
The Skimmer and return sump has been added.
The main tank shell has been constructed.
The wall where the overflow will be tucked in is finished.
The Electrical 2 x 20 amp with GFI breakers and GFI main panel breakers is in place.


Pictures thanks to JDigital.

You can see where the overflow part of the tank will be tucked into the wall. The rock wall will have a bigscreen tv on it.



An amazing shot it looks a mile long (actually 126")



Skimmer and return sump with 2" Bulkhead hole for Sequence Dart Pump.



Another view showing room left over under the stand for the RO water and Salt mixing sumps.



2" bulkhead hole for drain 1.5" emergency 1.5" for return



Here's a great overhead shot (Geeze I am funny looking)




Note to self:

Things I plan on having accomplished this week/weekend

1) Ultra quiet BR fan in place above main tank overflow with access to from the top.
2) Finish the main tank with Eurobracing top and bottom.
3) Build PVC racks for holding live rock.
4) specs drawn out for metal Main tank canopy.
5) Draw up plans for R/O tank and Salt mixing tank


I'll keep up with the updates
Thanks for looking
Kevin

Any idea what brand bit was used, or method to get such perfect holes?
