WarDog's Tank Thread : Episodic Trial And Error

[WarDog]

Needed some more holes for wiring and decided to paint the back.



Got a fancy powerbar with surge protection. Funny how every powerbar says 'not for use with an aquarium' on the package.
Here is a good detail of the tabs I had welded to the stand to mount the cabinetry to.
They also provide some seismic support I suppose, Lol.



Finally got around to installing the exhaust fan. Bgears 80mm with LED temp display. http://bgears.com/b-cool.html





Might have an acrylic deflector fabbed up for the back so as not to get salt creep on the wall.



Build is slowly picking up speed, slowly. Picked up 12 feet of Panduit, guess I can start some wiring! http://www.panduit.com/wcs/Satellite...Search_Wrapper

Thanks for looking.

Looking real nice Warren, you can tell your a fitter looks great.

Thanks Laurie! Having a slight case of OCD helps with the building part, but once the livestock is in, I'm not too sure how that's going to work out, lol.


Just as things were gaining speed with the build, 'normal' life got in the way. The wife and I have been spending a lot of time working on our yard reno before the weather turns sour.
Leaving me far too spent to work on the tank. I was able to do a bit of work today by putting the cabinets on the stand. Here are the results.







Contacted Eli in regards to some rock, hoping to do some sculpting soon!

Trying to find a used triple doser... sigh.

Thanks for looking.

Trying to work some magic with LED's tonight. Getting inspiration from Harry Potter... although he looks worried.

LED build failed. Those stab connectors aren't very good at making contact. Going to have to try to find my 25 year old soldering iron and do it like a boss.

Rock came today from Eli. Can't say I've ever been excited to receive a box of rocks before!

22 lbs Pukani, 35 lbs Branch, Thanks Eli!
