Gen went with 1/2" sides? With my tank he didn't want to do 1/2" sides. Weird. He said he would only make it with 3/4" (I didn't end up going with Gen). And my tank is smaller than yours. Did he say how big of an eurobrace?

Gen doesn't like doing open tops, he'll do Eurobracing, but open top is a whole different beast. I'd imagine he'll use a 3/4"x3", it's fairly standard.

Jeremy my quote with him was eurobraced as well.

A little more progress to report for this weekend.

We fit the plywood top to the stand and cut out the hole for the bulkhead and plumbing.

We also took out some old ducting that led to what use to be a wood burning stove, yes-only in an ancient Sunset home.
I wish I had a photo of the before, but here is the new ducting above the tank area (duct closest to you in the pic).

It use to hang down another 8-10" with a trap door at the end of it. We should have had a mask and goggles on when we opened that sucker.

My husband ordered a few goodies for me this weekend, I will post pics when they come in ;D

 

[tapmorf]

As promised ... some goodies arrived at work today

 

[Raddogz]

That is some nice goodies!!!!!!!!!

 

[iani]

Looks like you got some nice new toys.

 

[Tumbleweed]

Nice. Looks like someone is having some fun

 

[tapmorf]

I think I may need 1 more of those vortechs. I still need to find a good reef controller as well.

There is one at BAYMAX ;D..

Some cool toys you got there.. It's fun to setup new tank, isn't it?? After you done, you just want to do another one ;D..

 

[tapmorf]

I am planning to go the BAYMAX, hope you are right

If I setup another one after this one, I will need to plant some money trees in the yard soon.

 

[Elite]

At least you know where to get those $$ tree. For me, I would have to go sleep in the tree in the backyard. :-[

[jellygeee]

Wow, nice goodies. =)
Joyce: Did you get the backup battery for the Vortech?

 

[tapmorf]

Thanks.
I can't wait to get it set up in the big tank.
I think when I order my second one, I will add it.

 

[Apon]

OT has a battery backup instock - ask Derek on the price. You get a BAR discount.

 

[tapmorf]

Thanks Arnold. I will try to check them out next weekend.

What kind of lights do you plan to run on this new tank Joyce?

 

[tapmorf]

I plan on running all T5s. 2 fixtures, 6x54w and another 4x54w.

 

[Elite]

Why don't you get something like Ian's Joyce?
