No I don't. The only pics I have are of those in the original post, but I can get a few pictures of the finished product.


I have the information on how to build their own auto top off controller that has fault protection built in (empty water reserve and faulty sensor protection) if anyone wants it.

This is exactly how I am going to do mine. Thanks so much for these pictures and everything. Looks fantastic man!

Nice build did you put anything underneath the sand to protect the pond armour from rocks and the sand please

all the sand... no since the sand wouldn't move all that much on the bottom. However, I did put plexi down under the rock to prevent it from scratching the pond shield.

Final Build Cost?

And did you do anything to the corners before the Pond Armor? Fiberglass? Silicone?

 

[dallen2233]

I did use some fiber glass in the corners, but I did put a large bead of silicone on every corner just in case the pond armor cracks. The final cost was around 2100 and that's with no livestock.

Nicely done! Looks like you lit your fuge with some red and blue LEDs, can you tell me what you used there?

Nice job. Tank looks great.

I'd be interested in the top off controller information. If anything, just to gather knowledge on the subject.
