lduncan Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 It's going to be one impressive tank! Have you seen this tank which royal exclusiv built. Looks a similar style: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubidor Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Hadnt seen that one, doesnt seem to be too many round ones around . All plumbing , pumping, closed loops, over flows and detrius removing!! systems will be hidden with rock work. All plumbing and most of rock formation has been drawn in Designcad so its all to scale and you know its all going to fit before you start cutting and drilling Rock is busy curing in another tank has been forabout three months now, (this will be topped up with rock from existing tank giving a total of about 280kg) Tank is going to be bare bottom allthough I am considering a resin and sand mix to lose the flat bottom look but will not be having loose living sand. Basic gear at this stage is; Entire tank is controlled by Plc Ie all pumps, lights,dosing , top up and possibly feeding. Havent quite found the right gear for cleaning auto as yet!! Ocean motions 8 way with sequence dart. All heating (2 stage) and cooling(2 stage) will be done with undersump heating wires and the cooing will be done ( if needed) with a fan initally with provision for a chiller if extra cooling is needed. All automaticaly looked after by a clever temperature controller Tunze streams and controller may be transfered from existing tank if not enough flow from closed loops. All calcium , Alkalinity and magnesium needs are being done with Randy's recipe via dosing pumps. Sump is being built as a frag grow out area also. Well best get back to it , all drilling is done time to start adding plumbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubidor Posted June 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Had a good solid day in the shed today, slowly glueing together all the pvc fittings, Pumps have been released from the revenue gatherers so will gather some speed again now. Just sitting down at laptop now and drawing out the center pillar and all the associated pipework and cables that need to be hidden in there, Aiming to have the in tank stuff all sorted and made this week, will post some pics at end of week when this is done,( assuming no more snow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
