Rev's 400+ Gallon Basement Inwall

[d2mini]

Very nice indeed. Rev, did u do all of the planning and design work yourself for this project, or have someone come in and do it? Just curious, definitely seems like a lot of the small details have been covered that's why I ask.

Dude... the whole reason he created R2R in the first place was to gather and steal everyone else's ideas for this future tank in this future house.
It's all part of his evil master plan!

Thanks everyone!

Honestly so far I've just consulted with the meme es here in my thread! I went back and read all the suggestions and have tried to use as many as I can.

The real test is going to be setting up the tank, plumbing and all the components!

That could not be closer to the truth....

BTW this tank was never leak tested. :/

Good thing is I can still pull it straight out and through the tank room double doors and back on a truck!

No need - if it leaks it will probably blow out.

I'm sorry revh but I lol'd really hard at this one!
What a way to install confidence into a new tank leak test

I'm trying to get him to re-think the "400-gallon tank and no floor drain" situation. Look what happened to Peter's 1200-gallon tank. Thank goodness he had a floor drain!

That fish room has the potential to be ridiculous. Wishing I would have gone bigger. Is this thing wet yet?

Room and wall still being worked on!

What in tank camera system are you having installed?

C'mon.. I know you have at least thought about doing it!

 

[revhtree Verified Admin]

HA! You never know!!

Wall pre-mortar.

Mortar being added...

Rubber base board added.

Mop sink. I'll probably go better and bigger sooner on this one. This is one the contractor picked.

That Looks awesome!!!! how will you clean the front glass easily though?

Bravo!

Very carefully...LOL!

No I plan to use a magnet cleaner or maybe even one of those robot cleaners if they ever get released. From behind I'll have a little cat walk running around the backside of the tank and from there I can reach all areas of the front glass. The "plan" is to stay on top of the glass cleaning so it doesn't get too bad.

i really hope those do release they look really cool! and good luck with that, dont fall in the tank haha! the catwalk should help considerably, just be sure to stick to the "plan"
