Well finally

[Scott Sweet]

All,

Been a long while since I have been on here and the few members who helped me bring in my tank to the house. Today is a special day...I am finally filling the tank! YEA!

Scott: That is an amazing tank. That is so cool how you can have the canopy raise up and down. Nice job!!

 

[Oakland Evan]

Great looking tank, love the canopy system.

I like that idea on how you mounted the electrical stuff. Is that grating metal? Nice idea on getting something in there that's easy to attach to, and also allows air flow for everything.

And 2 Red Dragon pump controllers? Good lord this is going to be a fun journey!

Sweet looking tank. Love that canopy. Was it hard to engineer?

 

[Newjack]

damn that thing is one sweet tank. My first thought.. that tanks a MONSTER

 

[tankguy]

That is pretty bad ass

 

[Apon]

Very cool, but I think you might want more space between the Couches and Tank. Especially when you need to clean that side.

Did you use a pulley system and a linear actuator? I imagine that would be pretty difficult to get it lined up in the attic.

 

[Kensington Reefer]

oh yeah!!

 

[Coral reefer]

So is that a mini fridge or freezer? And are you using it for an automatic feeding system?

 

[Flagg37]

I was wondering when I’d see it with water in it.

 

[JVU]

That is pretty slick. The canopy, the electrical panel, sump goodies.

The reflection of the tank will probably make the TV unwatchable when your lights are on.

Couch seems a bit close for comfort too.

I used a Firgelli track actuator. Here is a video and pic in the attic.

Yes...

Easy to move if needed.

 

[Coral reefer]

Yes...

Cool. I’d like to hear more! Where are you located? And is it a fridge or a freezer?

 

[dochou]

Very cool looking set up. Can't wait to see it's progress.

 

[Flagg37]

Did you have the cables for the canopy come straight through the drywall? Is there any decorative cover or anything?

Did you have the cables for the canopy come straight through the drywall? Is there any decorative cover or anything?

Yes. However I used some 3/8" PEX tubing (1/4" ID) in the ceiling for the cables to go through. This protects the ceiling drywall over time. There are 4 small holes in the ceiling...that is it.
