Large acrylic tank build... Pic intence
- Thread starter joey02
- Start date
I'm waiting ! 
UPDATE:
Made all of the tops for the tank... each opening has two sections.. one with a finger ghole drilled into it for easy access. The finger hole will also allow for me to flip the tops if the bow as they are made from acrylic as well. There is a guide between each set of lids to restrict them from moving side to side, and insures proper placement anytime they are removed.
Also made tops for the sump, same idea as the tank tops.. made a top for the trickle tower as well.. cuts down on noise, splashing and evaporation.
Also changed my drains return elbows for 90 degree elbows to 45's. cuts down on noise...
I put a quik coat of black paint on the stand as well.. looks horrible now, but i'll do another coat.. this will make it a bit more appealing until i wrap the stand properly.
Other than that, tank is running on minimal equipment right now... i have the upgraded equipment in the mail, should get that by this week, or early the next.
more updates to come...
Here are some pics of the updates.. sorry for the horrible quality, i will have better ones soon...
