Hey folks, i thought i would share the build with you from the start, the tanks are up and running but this was the start...i will always have a link on each of my posts for every part of the build......(once i figure out how to do it)
Part 1; (The Stands), I have two tanks pushed together to equal 10 ft by 7.5 ft by 30 inches high so i was a little worried if my floor could handle the weight. i called in a contractor to cut the concrete and dig down a foot and reinforce with two rows (cross wise) of rebar and a stronger cement. the stands are from a welding shop and are 2 inch square tubing(1/4 inch thichness).
leveling the stands was very important and not easy....also they were painted with black rust proof paint....here you go...
you may be wondering about all the holes...that has to do with my main filters and also drains, if i want to empty or water changes..
any comments are welcome but part two will simpilfy things...thanks
