Corals B 4 Bills 225 Lee Mar Starfire Inwall tank

[earthboy17]

by that you mean he upgraded it, adding 1/8" pvc sheet for you? Sweet deal.

Did you get the tank? Sorry I was unable to help!

Any idea how he glued the PVC board to the bottom of the tank?

Unsure how they did it, but Down Corning 795 is what I've read.

Nice little thread, includes good information, someone on RC who's often a "know it all" (usually right too) being told he's completely off his rocker by someone who does know more about the subject, it's great times

From the pictures, I don't see any black board unless he put it on after Mark took the pictures. Anyway you can get some pic of the black board?

The 1/8" PVC sheet is siliconed to the bottom of the glass he reinstalled.

Are you going to have the black back as your viewing side?

 

[Elite]

Is it my eyes or the black board on the bottom doesn't cover the whole bottom?

Yeah it looks like there is an 1/8" gap on the front and rear of the tank. Like it is the exact width of the bottom piece of glass and not the front and rear panels

 

[Elite]

If that is true, I would really worry about it.

Everything is fine they cut the last inch crooked at the end, hey it's holding water, I'm just glad someone fixed it. 97 more days of water testing I can put it in my new house, please just be happy for me I can't take more tank stress. ohm.......ohm.......ohm, good times.

 

[Elite]

;D as long as it holds water .. ignore me ;D

Since the tank is outside why don't you cover it with a tarp or something to keep the direct sunlight off the tank?

 

[orientalexpress]

Because I have to wait until I have a day to cover it with plywood, right now it's covered by a tarp.

 

[moo0o]

looks like its gonna be a beautiful tank!

I am determined to make this a world class reef tank, The aquascaping is going to look something like this, so it will look more realistic. This is the reflectors I have (Luminarc III's) I will build a rack just like this one too, should be a fun tank to put together.

Monday afternoon I sealed the tank up, the time capsule has been buried and can't be opened until Sept. 23rd. 6:30am ;D
