you will love the tank so very nice nice! get a small army to help tho very min. 4 dudes 6 is better. or better yet if you have tile or wood floors look in to the carts from harbor freight. or just pay some movers.

Yea I am kinda worried about that. Trying to decide if I want to get the grips for the outside of the glass to move it with.

oh nice! I got my lights V2+ as well as the new DCA 1200 apex compatible return pump. I love those RPM but I did not think they would stay on the 3/4" glass so I had to go another way.

but I hope to get the coral box wifi dosing pump and containers soon.

 

[Devaji]

Got in more goodies.
EB832
Coral box DSA 12000 return pump apex controllable
Reactor

Now on to getting my Qt setup done.
Here what I am working with.
The drilled 4obr that started it all.

Never could get it to stop leaking form the glass holes bulkhead so I bought the 90...then now the 750xxl!

So i blame this tank...haha I wonder Where I would at if the take never leaked...

 

[Devaji]

One problem...of many, setting up a tank in the middle if a Wyoming winter is you can't just go outside and use the hose..

So i had to get creative...
Good thing it fit in the shower

 

[Devaji]

I am siliconing a piece of 1/4" plate glass to both sides.
Here is the inside done.

 

[Devaji]

And here is the back side.
Not the prettiest but should get the job done.
Will Let it cure until Monday the to a fw test to see

[Devaji]

well after a cpl days of playing in the snow giving time for my silicone job to cure and more of my QT and other goodies to come in its time to get back to the build...

stay tuned for updates

 

[Devaji]

QT tank is filled and the patch is holding well. Gonna let it sit there till this eve. To make sure there are no leaks.

Then I can start the tank transfer over to the Qt and get the 750xxl up on the stand level it out and finish the stand build.

QTing has set me back a week or so but that's ok I am sure it will save my butt down the rd.
