Plans have changed I am getting off work early Thursday and don't work Friday so this thing is a go for this week! I tested my plumbing today and no...
You shouldn't need center supports but the more I think about it putting 2x4 uprights right under the corners of the tank for extra support wouldn't...
Like Rolo said you won't need center supports.You will want the top to be supported by 2x4s directly underneath it so the screws aren't taking the...
Got my plumbing glued last night. I'm gonna set the tank up outside to check for leaks, and clean it. I've got two more weeks of class and I'm...
Looking good DBO. Nice job on the plumbing too.
Your overflow will only flow what your return pump pumps back up. So since your return pump is 600 gph than your overflow will only flow 600 gph and...
I really liked your video and the tank looks great. A lot of people are using the jebao pumps. I switched from koralias and a smartwave to a wp40...
I say go for it. I would make sure to get one big enough to handle your nutrients though.
+1 on the ro/di system. If you can't get one right away your best bet is to buy water from your lfs.
Yes it is. I debated on a Bean Animal, but that was going to be that much more plumbing and parts to buy for something that is close to the same...

Beautiful tank OFK! That is something to be really proud of.

Nice work on the manifold. I'm not sure if it matters where the T is or not. I'm putting my return and ball valve after the T. My thought is I won't...
WOW beautiful tank! I like all the diy you have done too.
I'm jealous! I would go but my wife volunteered me to help my brother in law re roof on his house Saturday and I work Sunday, and I guess the 20+...
One other thing if you are going to make this for the 55 gallon tank than you will be ok using 2x4's for everything if it's for the 125 than you will...
Great job on that canopy! Looking forward to seeing the rest.
The second link in this post really breaks things down and shows how things are joined together. As Todd mentioned, when building a stand you don't...
IMHO if the stand is built properly screws will be all you need. I'm on my phone, but when I get home I can post some pics of how you want to join...
