I'll never forget when my wife shacked up with me and realized I had no curtains. I explained that I knew exactly where my nudity zones were and when loaded, they didn't count.

Awesome tank setup! Are those solenoid valves that you are using with your auto-topoff system and where did you get those? Did it come with the Aquatronic setup or did you have to find them yourself and are they plastic solenoid valves?

Hey, just have to toss some props out for bebo77 doing such an awesome job! Man, I love the setup from beginning to end and how much time and dedication that was taken too blue print from the beginning all the way through the whole project.
Bebo77, I don't know your name by your alias but thanks for trusting us for providing the rock for your system and give us a call if we can help further. I think I see a tank for the next upcomming RC Magazine! P.S. If you're looking for a second job too support the habbit, we're taking applications right now....LOL Keep us posted and do me a favor and send some finalized photos if you get a chance. Peace! |

Bebo, outstanding. Having just done something similar I'm really feeling your financial pain.
I'm jealous that you're moving so quickly on this tough but I guess that's where the experience comes in. Hey, how's that PanWorld 100PX-X? Mine is way too noisy..... Tell us about your plans for this tank - livestock, sand, BB, anything fancy?

whew, bathtub curing..you'll need a hazmet team to sanitize that baby and the drain in the end! How does anyone have the patience to document each detail for months like this? It is wonderful, and I'm glad folks do it, it's just (to me) taking away from the DOING, so I never could have patiently written such journals.
I'm esp interested on the curing-sauna, do keep us updated on all those details.

I hate to bring this up at this point, but how comfortable are you that nothing in the bathtub will negatively impact the rock?
I'd be concerned about soap/cleaner residues as well as the materials (metals?) used in the plumbing and pumps for the jets. At a minimum, I'd monitor copper levels in case there are any copper or brass fittings in there. Just keep an eye on it. If you see elevated copper in the water, the rocks can absorb it and leach it back out later. That could cause problems down the road with invertebrates (especially corals). Other than that, I applaud your creativity! I showed your bathtub pic to my wife, and......let's just say you're making me look good by comparison! Keep up the good work!

I left the tank half empty so that i can aquascape a little easier...I did not want to go BB but i placed one of the Tunze 6200 5 inches from the floor attached to the left side overflow. If i put sand that pump will blow away any sand that is in its path... Ill make a sketch of the flow pattern with the tunze returns, while the flow wont be as creative as yours  , i hope it will do the job...Quote:

Correction: 10' long x 4' wide x 7' tall!!!
Fingers are crossed that it makes it to you in the condition it left. The guys at FedEx that helped me unload this beast gave me a tip. If you want the loading guys to be 'extra careful' when loading and handling the package/crate, label all sides with the word "GLASS", whether there is glass in it or not. Fragile doesn't get their attention any more but that will. Of course, I didn't bring any paint with me to add "GLASS" to the box Talk to you soon Gabriel.

Gabriel, do you have any closeup pictures of the corners of your metal stand? Maybe some closeups of the details.
