I don't recall exactly, but I remember the shipping label on my 120g eurobraced was in the high 200's. I easily moved it and put it on a 36" stand with a buddy of mine using suction handles.

Very easy.

Most likely that label includes crating, so it’s prob not 275 just the glass

Anyone have a modular marine overflow on a sc tank?

 

[biggie4jets]

Nice looking setup!

Love that wood stand!

Anyone have a modular marine overflow on a sc tank?

I do, it’s excellent

 

[CK00020]

Which one, it looks like the mod and synergy are a little different sizes just making sure I order the right one, I was looking at the 1600 gph.

 

[CK00020]

I see in your thread it’s the 1600, any tips on install of the bulkheads, I’m a plumber but don’t deal with bulkheads often

I emailed him about it fitting and ended up getting a custom one. It’s the 1600 but he printed it to match the synergy reef. Make sure to have the gasket between the tank and the overhead, and then inside the overflow. So bulkhead inside tank -> gasket -> overflow -> gasket -> flange. Hopefully I’m using the correct terms.

Thanks for the info

what size RFG nozzles do i need for the return lockline on SCA 120 with internal overflow and eurobracing?

thank you

 

[Tuffyyyyy]

That one I still haven't figured out. I think the return bulkhead fits a 1/2" PVC but it's a slip. Mine is still just coming out through the bulkhead since I haven't felt like dealing with it.

Actually, question for other owners: has anyone mounted their lighting on the eurobrace? I have 2x Kessil a360s on there and am planning on adding a few more, but I noticed yesterday that the eurobraced glass was moving a little bit yesterday when I was adjusting the light. Now I'm kind of freaking out.

My light on the euro brace:

I guess SCA got too popular. Contacted the owner for a rimless 120 just the tank and stand, nothing else. YIKES, was quoted $2400. LOL

Just get the tank for $900 as listed and build your own stand. For $100 more you can get the 150g.

This right here.

 

[uncle luke]

I would do that but he told me it’s an extra $800 for a rimless making just the tank $1700 alone.

They are all rimless but do you mean with no euro-brace? Just cut them off. You can cut them right off with a razor blade.

 

[Barrett]

He uses thicker glass when he doesn’t put in the euro brace, that’s why the extra cost

Oh, Holy cow! How thick? Mine is already 1/2 inch thick.

 

[Barrett]

The quote he gave me I believe was 19mm but I will have to try and find the quote again
