FishBrain Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) It has officially started now. I changed the stand I got around (so it would fit) and got the tank on and sump in, so I thought I would post a couple pics of my slow and painful process of this 90G salt. I will keep updating as I go along. BUT at least it is on the stand and I can begin putting the plumbing in. I should (fingers crossed) be getting my lights on the weekend. Hood Tank on stand Sump in stand yeah yeah yeah...NO the light fixture will NOT be there when I add water.

finaddict Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 nice stand and canapy MAt, are you leaving in that color or painting it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishBrain Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I think I am going to leave it that colour. I like the natural look to it. The inside has already been sealed so I am not to worried about rotting. Still need to fill in the screw holes tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vapor Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Looking really good Mathew. Good job. :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishBrain Posted December 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Ok so the plumbing has reached its end (for the time being) looking for one more part and away I go. I need a 2" barbed wye fitting for the overflow!!!! I found a tee and that will have to work for now. I will post a pick of it when I get water into it for leak test (tonight oh please Dog let it be tonight) and post them. Also got my light and need to hang it in the hood so I can put the hood in place and show that off too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molino Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Looks great Matt! Be sure to update us with more pictures once you start putting stuff in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishBrain Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 (edited) All right! I have plumbed in two 2" drains that go into a wye joint and drop into one side of a 33G sump, I am using a Coralife Skimmer in the sump, with an Ocean Runner 6500 running through a 1" hose that divides into 3/4" through a Tee and returns through 4, 1/2" Loc-Line...only thing that bothers me is the Orange in the returns. I decided to go with Tek Light, HO T4 lights. (4 bulb system) But here it is getting filled up. and here is a side shot of the overflow running in "leak test" mode Edited December 14, 2006 by Canadbis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snaggle Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Looks like there will be a lot of flow. Are you doing SPS? Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishBrain Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Looks like there will be a lot of flow. Are you doing SPS?Brad I may have a few but I really prefer Mushrooms, and LPS. I am going this way because I read about people using a baster to clean under rocks and I am hoping to direct flow under so I dont have to baste. I am also hoping to not have to add a powerhead. with the way it is flowing I dont believe I am going to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
