We actually discussed this quite extensively. The pipes that you see are large enough that if I wanted to, I could run some pex inside the pipes but after extensive consultation with the plumbers and builders, everyone is confident that this wont break or leak (its very thick plastic). |

Cool, pex is good stuff, I used it in my house for re-plumbing. simple to use and durable. Around here that wouldn't work, they'd freeze... I used to live in phoenix, don't miss the heat at all

This tank is going to be too awesome not to be a reef. No one is going to be envious of a 1000 gallon FOWLR. We want to see 3' mushrooms and SPS like tree trunks. C'mon man if not for yourself do it for us out here who wish we could.

Nice build. I hope you have room for the oops I forgot to run that Apex data line/water line factored in. Curious to see how the plumbing flow works out. good job.

Sorry guys- been slammed with work and life. I'll get the pictures updated soon. Nothing new to report otherwise. Roof is getting loaded tomorrow. Windows start going in tomorrow. They will start wrapping the house next week probably. Plumbing, electrical. Sprinklers and insulation are still being worked on. I'll post more soon.

Just a FYI, I noticed in the pics it looked like you had some brass fittings on the pipe. Brass has copper which is toxic to the Invertebrates & coral. Once almost lost my tank due to a brass seal in a pump.

Here is the stand:
I wish they would just allow you to upload files directly here- Ill have to tend to this later. My apologies folks- just have been super busy with life and haven't had a chance to take care of the photos that no longer display due to the high bandwidth. Ill figure something out when I come up for air from work... Last edited by Socaltoaz; 03/04/2015 at 09:54 AM. |
