new 350 build in progress!

I ordered the flex PVC from that website. The egg create can be found at loses or home depot.

 

nice tank looking good

 

im going through my list now for all the plumbing connections and all the wood for the stand. im going to get the all the materials for the stand tomrrow to work on for this week and then next week will be the plumbing.

 

Looking good. can't wait to see that monster up and running.

 

it will be a while i just ripped down the dry wall and am taking a look at what im going to have to do. i got all the plumbing pieces today for the overflow drain to the sump and from the sump back to the tank, and the skimmer plumbing parts. i only have the CL plumbing parts left to get, and i got all the wood for the stand so i will be busy for a while. i will get some pics up later this week of all the destruction.lol

 

Awesome.. glad to see a new large build.. tagging along!

 

be careful with light diffuser (egg crate) at lowes. When i went to get some #1 the employees had NO idea what it was (ask them for "honeycomb" light diffuser, thats what its official name is apparently) and #2 when i looked myself they didnt have it so try avoid lowes with the egg crate situation

 

Wow, I'm envious of you haveing a tank in your garage already. My tank is on order -- hopefully will be dileverd in 3-4 weeks.

Regarding closed loops -- call the phone number on Oceans Motions web site. They have fantastic support and will pretty much do your closed loop design for you. They actually recommended two OM-4's rather than one OM-8. I lets you run 2 smaller pumps. If one pump ever fails, you still have a fair bit of circulation in your tank. You also could keep one reserve pump that could be subbed into either CL if there ever were a problem.

 

thanks thats a really good idea

 

well i got another 200lbs of fiji live rock and 200 lbs of live sand off of craigs list for $350. i got the wall busted down and the stand built and all of the plumbing pieces. i have a little more work to do on the wall and i can start setting in the stand and tank so here are some pics.
