Zach's 110 gallon

Sailor Jerry's rum and beer helped my attitude.

 

Good 'ol Sailor Jerry

 

Sweet. Let me know how you like the Azoos. I was wondering how those are.

 

Ordered a ground probe for my tank today. Never used one before but figured I would give one a shot.

Picked up a 40 gallon long for the sump today. I haven't been pleased with other sizes before under the stand. I got it for free so the price is right - seems to fit well in the stand. Enough water volume and good dimensions.

Also got an Iwaki MD40 RLT (Japanese motor) for the sump return. I decided against the 55RLT - this one does 750gph at 4ft head - 8ft 600gph - so after running through the chiller and back to the tank it should probably end up around 500gph through the sump - estimate.

I'll be working on plumbing this weekend

 

Just make sure your pants are pulled up while you are working on the plumbing!

the 40g sounds like a prefect fit.

 

I wanted to see pictures of "weird colored cherry!" ;D

 

Me too!! Where are the pics!?!

 

Nice progress so far! Building and putting the tank together is part of the fun, I think

Can't wait to see some PICTURES to show your progress

 

Got a good chunk of the plumbing done today. Friend of mine helped build the Hofer gurgle buster overflows, got the bulkheads installed, got the standpipes and returns installed. Got the black background put on, and hooks installed in the canopy for the pendants. I would put the canopy on the tank and take pictures, but it's too heavy for one person to put on. Plus I have more work to do on the canopy (installing fans, cutting more holes in the rear, cleaning up some cuts, etc. When I get that cleaned up and ready to roll I'll get some pictures taken

Taking the sump in to the LFS to have them drill it, and get glass cut for the baffles this week.

 

Thanks guys It's really hard to take pictures where it's located now. I need to be able to stand back from the tank to take pictures but where I have the tank located I have very little room and there wouldn't be much of a picture. When I get more accomplished and move the 75 out of place and put the new tank in that corner, I'll be able to properly take pictures. The tank stands about 7 feet tall when the canopy is on so it's big and I need to stand back, but just can't.
