chimera Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 cool, beers at your house this weekend for tank warming party Quote
cracker Posted October 3, 2005 Author Report Posted October 3, 2005 that edit made a hell of a diff!!!!! Quote
cracker Posted October 3, 2005 Author Report Posted October 3, 2005 still heaps of plumbing and mucking around to do........I better concentrate on work.......Damnnnn!!!! Quote
reef Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 how are you going to hide all the plumbing/wires and the bottom of the tank. Quote
cracker Posted October 3, 2005 Author Report Posted October 3, 2005 The plumbing is right at the back with the wires. The Tv and stereo system will hide everything else. The granite will also hide everything. The bottom opf the tank along with the top will have timber skirting. Quote
Fay Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Are you not worried about water and TV? Quote
misnoma Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Heh.. with that setup somehow I don't see a lot of TV getting watched My tank is next to the TV and somehow I just keep ignoring the black box for the large widescreen next to it Quote
cracker Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Posted October 4, 2005 Thats part of the plan!!...we hardly watch tv anyway!! Fay....Not really too worried...thats why I went for Granite. The Granite is 800 wide and the Tv is only 600. Granite is completely waterproof so will drip off the front and back..... If it leaks!! Quote
cracker Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Posted October 4, 2005 Can always buy another TV!!! :-? Quote
Brianemone Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 water will also run along the under side of the granite and drip Quote
chimera Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 so simply plan the tank so it doesnt leak, not rocket science Quote
chimera Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 how much water are you expecting to hit the floor? i get next to none on the floor at the back of mine, and the water level is only 5mm from the top. no splashes, and evaporation is a given but not to a level to cause drips. most work is done in the sump room (apart from the obvious rearrangement of corals, feeding fish etc) Quote
Brianemone Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 easy way of thinking about it, would you put your tv under the fish tank? Quote
chimera Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 do i have home and contents insurance? Quote
Brianemone Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 do they cover tvs that you put under a fish tank? bit like putting pot plants on the tv and watering them Quote
cracker Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Posted October 4, 2005 I dont have an issue with it...I will be runnning a small bead of silicon under the lip of the granite to stop it.......I'm not worried. Granite is in place....looks amazing! Quote
chimera Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 we'll take your word for it, but.... pics!!! Quote
