680L Dovii Tank Setup

[geewiz]

Its been a while since my last post, so its time for an update

Fair bit of work was done over the last few weeks, _a lot_ of staging and preparation .... but its all getting there.


Completed..

• Cabinet all stained and sealed
• Got some nice BIG rocks for tank decor, should go nice with my custom pebble mix
• Major plumbing work was completed today with a trial fitting (as seen in the photos)

Next..

• Disassemble plumbing
• Final re-positioning of the tank and glue all plumbing
• Add some water

very nice!

a thought, that bulkead strainer on your tank return might cause water to spray everywhere like a sprinkler. i'd either remove it or get one of those flexible return spouts.

Do you plan on painting the back or putting on a black background?
