Thx guys. I'm excited to get this thing up and running.

JIM!!!!!! time for you to hook me up!! lol:bunny::bagfish:

 

[latino277]

OK... i got some more detailed pix.

Here are the pix of the holes. You can see that there a little off. I double checked my holes the the messurement that gave me and they are right. It's not a big deal... bottom line... I should have waited to drill the holes anyway... Note for next time.

The next set of pix shows the bad routing... It's nice and smooth but have waves in it... again... no big deal

I do like the fact that the upper brace is on solid piece of Acrylic:

again... Over all I am very happy and would order from them again!!!

 

[latino277]

here are some pix of my dart and OM 4way:

inside my stand with sump and closed loop (a little dirty but I'll clean that up tomorrow):

I'm going to add a shelf here so that i can put my dual 400W pfo ballast on. I just hope it does not interfear with the plumbing:

What do you guys think so far?

 

[Tim]

Is the tank glass or acrylic? Have fun conecting that four way with such little space. Look`s good overall,now stop playing with the computer and get it set up.....

 

[latino277]

LOL... Tim... that's Jim's job to mess with the 4 way... lol I'll do the move next sat...

 

[latino277]

hey tim... too many beers... forgot to answer your question... its acrylic.

 

[JLAudio]

That pump looks crazy with the four returns on it! I cant wait to see the water flowing from all those bottom holes. Coming along great

I'll take that into consideration when plumbing to try and leave you the most space possible - looks like I am going to need some advil after this

John, is that 4 way a used one? If so, how are those fittings connected?

[latino277]

Hey Jim,

those connections are threaded and can be completly removed.

Advil... you going to have nightmares after this LOL

Plumbing is Done!!!

Russ and Jim stopped by to do my Plumbing this weekend. Over all, GREAT JOB!!!! I'm very happy and would recomend them!!!!

I'll have Jim or Russ tell you guys what a pain in the butt it was to get this done. The space they had to work with was a 28"cube. On top of that they have to plumb 6 holes for the closed loop plus the sump drain/returns. On top of that... they had to leave me enough space for my dart pump and OM 4way/Calc reactor/2 phosband reactors/ATI BM 160/Co2 tank/Dual PFO 400w ballast and a 20g sump.

I don't know how they did it... but they did!

soooo, here are some Pix... I'll post more tonight with a quick vid of the OM working.

box O Crap... LOL Jim, what do you guys call this thing again?

What a mess.... thank god the wife left early!!!!

Bulk heads in:

manifold for my return pump. this will feed my Calc reactor/2 phosband reactors and has a spot for a chiller if I choose.

Jim putting my fat butt to work:

and It's in:

The rest of the Pix did not load to Photobucket this morning. I'll get some more pix to you tonight and a quick vid of the OM tossing water around.

 

[masterswimmer]

John, thanks for the kind words. This job was the proverbial 10 lbs of $hit in a 2 lb box. Jim was the contortionist on this. NFW I could have done it.

The tank is sweet and has loads of aquascaping possibilities. Looking forward to pix of it full of LR and livestock.

John,

Where is the pictures of the first attempt :banghead: -

Have to say I was stoked to take on this project. Glad we did notwithstanding the 28" cube was like call of duty 4!

Advil is my friend

We should have taken wet test pics of it running. :banghead:

Can't wait to see it up and running.
