new tank setup

[RichT]

Tom,
You can do them in clear acrylic from the top of the tank to the bottom just like a regular RR tank. The acrylic will be covered in coralline in no time and you can mount GSP or something else to cover as well. You could even use Fusion paint if you wanted. I have an acrylic line bender and can make them in a snap. Figure: SF of material rounded up to the nearest SF x $10 (not including shipping).

Using the dimensions posted, you would need a piece 2' x 2.5' or 5 sf x $10 = $50 each + shipping.

I'll do 2 clear +/- 30"x10"x6" for $80 + shipping (you are a NJRC Member right?). Or I could bring them to the meeting.  LMK

I'll Let you know I had a couple of people interested in the tank, if it doesn't sell I'll take you up on your offer.

The New Tank should be here tomorrow ;D I can't wait

 

[MCWarhammer]

nice, what size did you go with?

 

[aeroblnde]

I went with a 120 with corner overflow. It's 6" shorter but will be a lot easier for me to work on.

 

[MCWarhammer]

excellent, good luck, if you need a hand with anything, let me know

Will do Bill Thanks, the tank came in today along with the sand and a new canopy. Tomorrow I might start water proofing the stand depending on how I feel.

I'll take the tank for a friend of mine. He's also looking for a 75gal to make into a sump. I'm also getting him to join NJRC. He's a perfect person for us. He's a licenced plumber for 30 years, and always willing to help.

 

[aeroblnde]

Cool Mike, thanks. Does he want me to get him a 75?

 

[aeroblnde]
