SnooknRedz's 75 Gallon(SHUT DOWN)

Somebody's clooooooserrr (Happy Gilmore Reference)...



I was gonna put teeth on the skimmer side but i dont care, i only teethed the fuge so no cheato or stuff will escape. Im gonna silicone it tonight hopefully, and if that gets done then ill begin finalizing the plumbing. Still waiting on a dude to reply with a return pump for now. I just wanna get something that moves water and ill get another good one when i really start stocking the tank (if im not satisfied with this one.)

 

Looking really good!!! Cant wait to see the tank up and running!! (Laundry < Reefing LOL)

 

Me too man im trying to make that day come sooner and sooner! i could have had a child by the time this thing got under way... good thing i didn't or that would reaaalllyy kill this build... note to self, don't do that.

Most of that laundry is clean any way, just too lazy to fold it. lol

 

Looks good, nice work.

 

Looking pretty good so far. Keep it up.

 

Thanks guys, im gonna try and make a HD trip tonight to get silicone, water seal, U brackets to hold pvc to the stand, paint for the back glass (black).

If not theres always tomorrow.

 

Got the rest of the supplies. I'll begin the silicone tomorrow. I'm hoping to have things at about 98% complete. All I'll need is a pump and she can get wet.

 

To do tomorrow:

Paint the back glass and the bottom pane(will be a bb tank)
Silicone baffles
Set the drain plumbing permanently if paints dry
Get a return pump.
Urathane the stand, maybe stain it. I'll see how I feel.

 

[STRIKE]Paint the back glass[/STRIKE] and the bottom pane(Decided to paint the top of the stand black instead.)
[STRIKE]Silicone baffles [/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Set the drain plumbing permanently if paints dry[/STRIKE] I cemented all but the connection to the overflow box's 90.

Tomorrows Chore List...
Water test the sump.
Attach the plumbing to the tank; both drain and return. (assuming the water test passes.)
Stain and urathane the stand

But its getting more and more closer...






Oh yea just calculated the sump voulume.

Skimmer/Drain Volume....: 6.4 Gallons

Return Pump/
Media Reactor Pump/..:6.4 Gallons
Fuge Pump Volume

Refugium Volume........:13.8 Gallons
Total.......................:26.6 Gallon Sump Refugium.

I didnt try and make the 2 volumes the same, i eyeballed it...lol.
Not a bad looking system. itll be right around 100, 101 gallons total.

 

moving right along, keep it up
