I don't see the Mission Impossible/Tom Cruise style harness for you to hang over the tank ....... Unless, of course, you are 8 feet tall OH, awesome looking tank BTW.

Lol I'm not 8 feet tall but I did have to bust out the 8 foot ladder to reach in. My little step stool doesn't cut it. Actually my wife was literally just nagging me as to why it's still not out of the living room. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Slightly Wide 500 Gallon Reef Tank
Quote:
I know some maintenance tasks will be a pain in the *** but I also don't have a fish room and so everything has to go under the tank and space is definitely limited. In that regard the higher height of the stand is definitely necessary. There will be a fish room in the next house I buy because now I have to find space for water changing set up and qt tanks, etc. Your tank is pretty dam close to this dimensions wise. I'm curious how you scaped your tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by JaySchulz; 08/22/2017 at 02:25 PM. |

@Ca1ore you have a Modular Marine overflow on your tank correct?
I think I remember seeing that. If so do you have a rubber gasket between the bulkheads outside overflow box and the nut to secure it. Obviously there is a gasket inside the actual tank where the pass through holes are but it seems that a second gasket would be necessary and it didn't come with anymore.

@ca1ore & clowning_around
This is exactly what I needed to know. The bulkheads only came with one gasket each and I knew that I needed one inside the tank but was pretty certain there should be a second one. I just didn't know if it needed to be between rear overflow box & nut or between back of tank glass and overflow box. I also know not to over tighten. And by the way you didn't butcher it all bud. I appreciate both of you. Thank you guys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Well good news. I was just emailed that my Bubble King Deluxe is on its way from Germany. Aquarium Specialty should receive it sometime next week.

Just wondering why you doubled up the second 2x10 on the right?

The 3/4 plywood was seamed right there and I wanted the two boards to have a solid contact point on each edge of the 2x10 instead of splitting one 2x10 You can see the seam in the photo. I'm also planning on getting a DaStaCo Calcium Reactor and the one for my tank size is I believe 20"L x 14"W x 42"T. That particular span could not be in the same increments to fit the calcium reactor in that section. I know that glass tanks are distributed to the corners of the stand and the middle spans are not that important, but at a minimum it can't hurt and i think the added rigidity is probably a good thing.

Interesting. Yea it is the new design. Yea I just saw another thread where you and Modular Marine were discussing this. Not saying it's wrong but having no gasket between the inside glass and flange seems weird. With no gasket water will go into the pass through holes. The gasket I guess will stop any water leaks though. Is there a problem with using 2 gaskets? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
