Check out this build I am working on...

[Wlachnit]

Wow!...Looks like a really fun, intense, and significant project. Keep us posted on the progress.

It’s not about that, it’s about priorities! Just get used to riding a bike to work and anyone could probably afford one...

or walk... bike cost start up money ...

I actually need to get back to biking to work. I used to do it last year quite a bit.

Someone’s Oprah rich!

 

[robert4025]

Very cool, If I ever get rich I am having Robert build me a system.

Do more dental implants, Ian!

Last time I was there you were supposedly at the dentist...

 

[robert4025]

@robert4025 always wondered what your house looks like...

This house is only in my dream.

Giving boat load of money to one, just to yank some teeth and now I am having a hard time enjoying a good piece of steak! I can now see how Ian can afford this tank so days!

It’s been a very fun project. I am very blessed to be part of it.

 

[robert4025]

Wow, what a project!
I get a kick out of the bridge you had to make to get things in.
Seems very well planned and executed.

Except ... a hole in the very bottom of a big tank, that goes to a rather weak looking U-joint?

Must have been a Monday.

It’s hard to tell from the pictures but it’s actually pretty well supported. That is just a water change drain line that’s connected to a 1.5” SCH 80 bulkhead and also strapped at multiple points on the bottom of the shelf. And, at the terminal point, it’s also bulkheaded to the concrete slab.

Also, if if both the gate valve and ball valve failed due to wear and tear, the whole assembly can still be replaced by plugging the other end of the bulkhead with a threaded plug therefore avoiding unnecessary tank drain.

BTW...this is actually for another system I am also building.

Did you sleeve the pipe with a barrier from the cement? Some call it a “chase”?

I am pretty sure he would do one for half a model S!

Yep

I know right? I actually do place and restore a fair amount of them. Money spent of my CBCT could of bought me a really nice tank.

Are you getting some implants placed?

 

[TurboReef]

Yep

smartest thing ever. You never know what upgrades will be on the future. Trenching is a bitch.

 

[dochou]

Very nice build! Thanks for sharing @robert4025.
If I had all the money in the world to spend on a dream build, I don't think I'd have an in-wall build. I'd probably choose a peninsula style build.

Agree, maybe with one side in the entryway of the house

 

[TurboReef]

y'all either have a marine biologist for a wife or are single cause I had to pull teeth just to upgrade to a 135 gallon freestanding tank.

 

[ashburn2k]

is the lucky perrson of that tank a BAR member?
