monaro1 Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 hi klaymann what type of clay do you use,is it plain modeling clay. i have a new tank 2400 x 800.this tank will have large cichlids so i would like to make a roman ruin city with big coliseum(carnt spell it) or the city of atlantis. with a base this big shouldnt be that hard.only time.im in no rush. what is the best thing to make the frame out of.have always used chicken wire but thay have never been in a tank, the wire would rust. wouldnt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 and if water gets at the wire to corode it, the zinc is the first cab of the rank, and according to what I've read, zinc and fish don't mix. Just a problem put in there to think about. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo1 Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Wow Klaymann you certainly are creative. And the photography is great too! Do you do aquariums as a business as I have been having a few calls from people up your way and would be happy to recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misnoma Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 You don't have pics of the sump/overflow/return on the AR1200 by any chance? - would be well interested to see how you did it as I'm about to set up a R2-150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faran Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Too bad most decent artists/sculptors like you are recruited by the new film industry growing here in NZ. I have friends that used to carve surfboards making scale models for King Kong... I'm reminded more and more every day that my creative roots are from my kiwi blood.

klaymann Posted September 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 You don't have pics of the sump/overflow/return on the AR1200 by any chance? - would be well interested to see how you did it as I'm about to set up a R2-150 Sorry don't have any pics of sump system but with the main tank drilled 2 x 32mm holes .. top one 12" in from left side 2" down from top of tank..... bottom 18" in from right side 2" from bottom (hansen fittings).. overflow was bevelled ( like a villa bay window section) .. with modified u/g filter plate for overflow grill ... stand is divided so right side had sump custom built to fit area running 25mm pvc , plus hansen fittings thru out.. aqua 3900 return pump with return valve , basic queen skimmer and jager 300 wtt heater in sump plus bio tower ( used caulerpa's and live rock for nitrate removal...expect replies to this :roll: ) .... left side area had canister filter for removable media plus ran UV light and air pump as well. mods to cabinet were a 12" square cut out of the back panel where sump was for ventilation . so all up the system runs the factory overhead trickle , overflow to sump plus UV & canister , 2 x solar white 1 x solar marine(actinic).. hope this helps .. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
