Gazo's 150G in wall build (new pics 10-27-12)

Thanks alot for all your help I did go ahead and seal the stand with Minwax and I will have to dig through my fishing stuff to find my polarizes glassess great tip that will help alot I was going to order a HOB this week because I didnt know if I could drill it but I will wait and do more investigating hopefully it can be drilled
Thanks again

 

No problem sir. Also, check the manufacture (if u know it) and ask. check each pane of glass for a marking saying something along the lines that its tempered. Most tanks, from what ive heard, have the bottom tempered only, but that not true 100% of the time. so check

FYI My 75 had a sticker on the bottom that said "Tempered do not drill!" but only on the bottom and i took a gamble n drilled the back pane. I did that polarized trick too so i kinda had a feeling i would be okay but still its very nerve racking right before you drill, as you drill, but when you finish the sense of accomplishment is unparalleled.

Check the tank like i said, and if you find drilling is okay, look into the Bean over flow. i didnt go that route, as i did a kit from glass holes. but those who have it, swear by it. Ultra quiet and reliable.

 

Scratched glass what can I do?

Well I gamble and lost the tank I thought I got a good deal may not be so good anymore finally got to cleaning the glass that completelty covered in algae just to find some scratches some you can barely catch with your fingernail the others or pretty fine, I have not filled it with water to see what scratches are noticeable but does anone know how I can fix this. been doing some research I all looks like it might be a alot of time and money to fix and may be easier to just buy a new tank.
I did see that someone used a rubbing compound for cars and alot of elbow grease has anyone done this and did it work or not this is the only method that seems reasonable that I found so far
Please help-Thanks

 

Glass-hole overflow kit question

good morning everyone I am looking into getting an overflow kit from glass-hole.com and Can anyone one tell me what I need size wise, I couldn't find anything that recomends what you need for tanks I got a 150G 72" long tank and who has one and what they thought of theres Thanks for your help

 

I would get 2. Get the 750 Complete kit, and get one without the holesaw (save $5). You can put them on the back glass, side glass, etc. Multiple overflows are nice incase one gets clogged. I have one (Super Nano) on my 40B frag tank...nice quality, works flawlessly, and very quiet.

 

Thanks for the help do you think two 750 or 2 1500 I will have a 55 gallon sump in the cabinet

 

I am going to be buying another setup thats up and running the price is right and the lighting is better that the one I have now it has 3 250W MH instead of 150W and the same compacts and its stocked is small so I can make it my own. Looks like I may have to modify the sump what do you guys think the pic. is not the best
here is a couple pics of the tank I will pick everything up in 2-3 weeks hopefully I can get my overflow kit and tank ready by the along with finishing the basement enough to where nothing will contaminate the take -sheet rocked, mud and painted

 

update

just giving an update got 1/4 of the drywall up and the stand is sealed and complete got water piped into the storage room for RO unit

 

oops forgot the pics

hopefully I will get all the rock up by this weekened and have time to redo the inside seal of the tank

 

Looks great!
