Thor's Custom 80+ "kind of" Cube Build

Great update! Glad to see that everything is doing well and that you are making progress. The tank and stand look great. Make sure to keep us up to date

 

Coming along really nice. Keep it up.

Heck yeah!! Congrats! you have definitely earned this build!

 

Nice work.

 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I had some time this week and made progress on the plumbing.

First, standpipes for the Bean. I have two 1 1/4" drains and one 1". I am making the 1" the full siphon, in the middle of the overflow. It is about 1 inch lower than the secondary. The emergency is the farthest in the overflow and is about 3/4 of an inch above the secondary.



I also started plumbing the sump. I am still trying to figure out where to place some equipment so this is all dry fitted. Also, I am going to put in some unions as well once I finalize the layout.



Slow and steady

 

Arg!!!!!!

So, real life continues to find new ways to interrupt this build. Which is both good and bad.

The good first: there is a fairly good chance that I will be getting a much desired transfer back home to Colorado (oh how i've missed ye!). If it happens it could happen soon, within the next 6 to 9 months.

If it does not happen then, well we will be moving anyway as my son is out growing our little condo quickly. And let's face it, I need more room for my tank, don't I?

Sooooooo, this build thread has come to a rather anticlimactic end. I hereby officially request our distinguished mods to close this puppy down.

Not to fret 3Reefers! I gotta get my fix and so in the meantime I will be running my quarantine tank as a display--a little 18 gallon cube--for a fun little something to pass the time. It is nearly ready to do and in fact I've worked out the 'scape and I will be getting the rock a curing this weekend.

It will be coming to a build thread near you in the next few weeks…

(Okay, so I am trying to be excited going from a 90 gallon to an 18 gallon, but something is better than nothing).

Thor, out!

 

This puppy is now officially closed down. ;D

Nanos can be awesome. I hope you get your transfer.
