 Sweet tank. What is the advantage to the PVC? Just increased durability, or is there a cost savings too?

Steve,
That's reminents of where his better half came in the garage after she found out he bought the tank and had it delivered and set on the stand.  Nice dimensions on the tank, I would be skepticle about bowing but the manufacture must know their stuff or they wouldn't do it right? Keep us posted, Man those cartoons were awesome almost like you had the guys pose to do that

Thank you everyone for the positive comments.
rayman, yes the other benefits are dropping a rock on your bottom pane glass... well with PVC, whats the worry? It may just dent it. Also, these tanks have most of the pressure on the bottom, if you have glass, then it may crack if it wasnt built correctly. You can also treat PVC like acrylic.. it can be drilled and be worry free of how many hold you have and creating more stress to the bottom pane. radone, thats why i followed through with this size of a rimless tank. I hear nothing but positive comments about Tommy the builder. Rumor is that he has never had a tank leak on him. He also has a great reputation as a "whiz" when it comes to building these tanks. He's been building them for years. Supposedly he is top notch. Abe, nice seeing you here! The stand you made me fits perfect!! You did a great job and everyone has commented on it when they saw the stand. everyone else, thanks again. |

I like the rimless design but with my son and baby on the way I'm sure I would be fishing toys out for sure. Maybe once they grow up and out I can finally build my dream
Keep some pics flowing

Nice tank man. What's the SCH 80 needed for? FWIW, SCH 40 and SCH 80 have the same OD, but SCH 80 has a smaller ID than SCH 40 due to the greater wall thickness. Therefore, SCH 80 has a little more restriction than SCH 40. You can get SCH 80 from US plastics. http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/pro...uct%5Fid=16587 If you wanted to get trick, you can get SCH 40 in gray also so it all blends together. |

Treg, thats a good question. This tank is built solid. I wouldnt recommend it as it lessens the life of the tank. It would be nice to see a rimless with a wavebox though. I know if you had a smaller rimless it would be good just as long as the thickness is appropriate.
tacocat, you are right. forgot they made sched 40 in gray. Thanks for letting me know. |

Looks very nice indeed. If I may ask, why did you decide to out the tank inside rather than replace the one you had there in the garage and accomodate the hole in the wall to the new tak's dimensions? What is the type of film put on the back? Was it glued on or just "stick on"?

The reason for this was because of the rimless effect with a hanging fixture. I love this look. Its more of a modern look. I like to display my tank setup as part of my furniture. I feel that it looks sleek with a nice hanging pendant. And now that its rimless, it should look even better as if you were looking down a shallow reef just by standing next to it. I also wanted a 3 viewable side tank. My aquascape is the most important part of my tank. Once its up, you will see what I mean. The film is vinyl. The installer said it best.. its like putting tint on your car. |

That is a sweet tank!
 I never had any thoughts of upgrading but now that thought is in the back of my mind. Anyway what are you currently using for lighting? I think your corals look great in your current tank. Last edited by slovan; 02/01/2007 at 10:48 PM. |
