I was planning on running my skimmer in the garage, but then I couldn't paint or sand in my garage without the danger of having my skimmer draw it in with the air. I know there are ways around it, but I didn't want the hassle. |

moving more of our tank into the garage as part of our current project, but to date have not really had much issue with rust. Guess we are in a drier area than most. We do plan to enclose the new sumps and other equipment and cover at least both sumps pretty much completely. But we are doing that for heating purposes more so than for humidity. We are less worried about a chiller than we are about a heater at the moment, and covering the sumps will make a huge difference. Right now just throwing a piece of foam insulation over the prop tank each night has saved us alm,ost $100 per month in heating bills this winter (calculated using a Kill A Watt meter over 3 days time both with and without the foam).

I really like your overflow. Is that glass or acrylic?

After coming home from work, the water is crystal clear and the salinity has dropped. It's time for a SSB!

Edward, you and I both started our in-wall tanks back in 2003 I believe, look how far you have come, yet I am barely keeping my hobby afloat after the move. Can't wait to see your every trick with this setup.

Is that black glass on the back? Nice. Who did you order your tank from. They did a real nice job on it. How did they seal that acrylic overflow to the glass?

jacmyoung, hey how are you. I remember your setup very well in the past. It was inspirational. It was one of my favs. I will see what I can do with this new setup. My options are endless because of the dimensions.
robster, yes its 3/4 tempered. If you look on the first page, it's vinyl they used to make it black. as for the overflow, I have no idea. You will need to ask Aquarium Environments who built my tank. swb, but at least you like my tank right? |

Aquarium Environments didnt build the tank. they simply sold the tank to Ed. AE is kinda of the middleman. AGE( http://www.acrylicandglassexhibits.com/ )built the actual tank.

How do they attach the PVC bottom to the glass walls and why PVC? Is it to reduce the weight? Is the black vinyl sheet glued to the back glass? |

That is one breathe taking tank Invin..... Do you have the aquascaping all planned out already, if so can we get a sneak peak? I'm sure you have it drawn out somewhere

aggie4321, Right... its all the same owner. I didnt want to confuse them with AGE because they dotn sell to the public, but rather send them to someone who can.
tanya, I thought people were getting tired of the pics. I will post some tonight. The water is very high now and the sand has cleared up just a bit. Tomorrow I get the rest of the plumbing and now I can plumb it to the sump in the garage. Right now its just running on a temporary closed loop plumbing job. reefer, thank you! jamyoung, Im not sure how they do it. Its suppose to be top secret. Its company confidential and everyone wants to know the coca cola secret. As for the vinyl, its not glued, but slapped on with a liquid. Its like tint on a car. |

I'm intrigued. Trying to create the effect of having part of the tank an underwater cave, perhaps?
I would think it would be difficult to have some parts of the aquarium receive no light at all.

Actually, there shouldnt be any issues with areas that do not have any light. it all depends on what animals you want to care for. |

Pics, pics, pics!! This is it for now until I start arranging rocks. I have more rocks sitting in the rubbermaids. Water has to clear first. I dont want to add more rocks and didnt see imperfections at the base. Rocks arent at their final place. Dont pay attention to the skimmer. Im still waiting for plumbing from usplastics so I can run it to the garage.
