Seano's 29g FOWLR to a full reef build[UPDATE 2/10/11]

Nice work

Are the tanks from the same manufacturer?

Crazy size difference.

 

From your avatar, I thought you were Steve Wright, at first. lol

Tell me about it...probably about a 1/2" difference. I beleve the smaller one is made by tetra. The larger one is the same age as me, so I ave no clue who made it. haha

 

yeah that size difference is just ridiculous are they the same height and length? btw congrats on finally startin the plumbing

 

Thanks, Bobo. They have the same length....look at that. The wider tank is also a 1/2" taller!

My sump tank is actually 11 gallons.

 

Rofl haha that's funny I figured one of em had to be a diff size tank, Thats weird though didn't know they made 11 gallons haha

 

I didn't know that either.

 

hmm...:-/

I went to the hardware store...they had a bulkhead that I thought might work. It's a 1 & 1/4" bulkhead with an expander(is that what they call it?) to go up to 1" PVC. Then I have a 90 elbow. From there I have a ball valve & some strait PVC that goes to the empty bucket for WC.

My bulkhead hole for WC line was planned to be drilled beneath my OF box so that way I could close it in with a false wall & you wouldn't even notice the OF box or the other hole. I thought my plumbing was going to be tight. Well, it is. It won't work. With the expander(?) piece, the line would stick out to far from the tank, running thorugh(>) the OF line. I need a 1 & 1/2" bulkhead & a threaded elbow to go directly into the bulkhead, or else it won't work.

I also realized that a 1 & 1/4" b cannot be used in a 1 & 1/2" hole. lol.


This isn't even with the length of the bulkhead...

 

lol seano seano seano haha that blows sounds like ur havin great luck with ur plumbing

 

haha. Thanks, Bobo. Not.

 

Small update...lol.

Went to the LFS today after some Christmas shopping & got some more rock. Well, actually one rock, but it weighs 6 lbs. Very cool shape & good size. Probably at least a foot long, 4" tall & 10" wide at largest point.

Great coral placing corals!
