LARGE All In One BUILD 70gal

Just like Elvis would say, Thank you, Thank you very much.

 

Very nice craftsmanship on the tank and the stand. I am impressed.

 

This is the light that will be used for the fuge chamber.




I dont want to see the light in the DT when it comes on. I built a track so I could slide a plastic curtain from one end of the hood to the other.



This is the top of the curtain






I screwed the track to the bottom of the hood. The curtain is a 3rd the length of the hood. It will give me enough room to get to the skimmer.

Wow very cool build going to be a sweet setup!

 

Nobody wants to look at all the crap going on behind the tank so I scribed a piece of wood to cover the mess.

 

A look at the hood pretty basic. 2 CFs @ 130watts per unit. There are 2 moon lights. The one that runs down the center is a piece of crap. I removed it. The small one at the left side of the hood rocks. It is not enough to lite the whole tank, I will be getting 2 more in the future.
I have used a dual 3'' Azoo fan to run during the daylight bulb cycle.

 

This is the skimmer I choose when I started this build. It will fit into the skimmer chamber.



set in place





Small mod I didnt ever want the cup to over flow because of a really wet skim

It is ready to pull the poop out of my tank

Quick look under the hood

 

Very cool build there sir, really well thougout, thanks for sharing!

 

Thanks TJ,
This tank is the result of 2 20gal. AIOs each 20 had it own design and each had its own flaws. I didnt want to repeat history. As we all know we learn from our mistakes.

 

Thia is the main attraction in my tank for now.



I wasnt in love with my rockscape. I show some before and after pics







Now some after and a few of what lives here.






















I have a man made rock cooking it will be ready in about 3 mo. I'll keep you posted.
