New 120 Builld


Re_Run

Recommended Posts

Saw that a while back when I was looking into a stand for my 90, design is cool but figuring out the plumbing to be able to drag the sump out that far seems like a lot of work, unless you just do quick disconnects and shut everything down. Which is not so bad. I say go for it. I just built mine to be tall enough to get in and out of it easily.

Looks like a slick setup. Neat idea having the sump on rollers to slide it out. Are you going to have unions and valves on the plumbing to make it easier to disconnect and whatnot to slide the sump out?

 

that is the general idea

seriously reef in the sky in one of the most documented tanks in the world. It was totm on reef central and zeovit tank of the month. That tank was so thought and planned that reef central uses it as a sticky to set the bar for any future sps keepers looking to start a new system and if you knew how mnay amazing sps systems have been through that forum it is a pretty big accomplishment.

yep they sure are why re-invent the wheel have to modify a few things not going to be zeo.. tank size will be different.. stand will will be more or less the same.. should have given credit earlier in the post my bad sry.. still going to be a sick tank when finished. nothing to get caught about do you get caught when you buy a premade stand or watch youtube to build a custom stand just following buleprints and adapting to my own use?
