Bandit's 150g build

banditpowdercoat · #1 05-11-2009, 02:32 AM

Progress Update.

Got the overflow done. I set the overflow 90* and siliconed the inside. Waited about an hr for the silicone to skin up, then set it on the final angle.

I siliconed the visible edge, masked off the glass as to not get any silicone on where I didn't want it.

Once the silicone had set up enough, I started on the back plumbing. using tape to hold the overflow from shifting. Which it never did.

Now it was time to wait. Wait for my bud to finally come over and help lift it up on the stand. Waited for 3 hrs before help arrived.
Once it was up, ut was time to put the bulkheads in. This couldn't be done by myself, so I enlisted qualified help.
Man, I need a haircut, getting pretty long

I'd love to say YEAH! But I never asked for it. BUT, now that you mention it, it is pretty darn clear. My glass guy is a car buff too. So we trade glass for powder coating on his Dart and Cuda HAHAHA. Just not enough PC work to get a whole tank built LOL

There's not as much room as I anticipated with a 50g sump HAHAHA

Does your glass guy need a cabinet maker/carpenter extraordinare??? Looks like she was more help than I had....my g/f is rendered pretty much useless by her long-ass fingernails.

Don't know if my glass guy needs one, but I DO. My trim is falling off allready LOL. Well, to be honest, I never really thought out the doors that well, just sheeted the front, then cut out the opening. Using the cutouts fro the doors. Now, what do I do with the saw cut gap? Tried to brad nail 1" flat molding over it, but I need wider molding or glue HAHAH Wood is NOT my strong point.

For my next stunt, I am going to make a 6" ledge around the tank. was throwing the ides of Black tile on top of the ledge. THAT should prove entertaining.

Not for 3 weeks tho, I'm back into camp tomorrow. give me lots of time to go through it in my head LOL.
