Tje`s 75gal reef build

Well I got my 75 gallon freshwater taken down in all cleaned up, along with a lot of my other old equipment that I found.

I also just completed my refium, that I made out of a 20 long. It fits inside of the stand perfectly!

Also the two outside doors on the stand use to be just boards nailed to the framing, I went and bought some hinges and made them doors as well.

I am having problems posting pictures with my mobile. so I will have to add some later when I get my camera handy.

 

Here we go;

I orderd the 700gph overflow, and two return kits from glassholes. They should be here tomorrow or thursday, so I will hopefully be drilling the tank Thursday.

 

Idk why pics wont show up...ill just have to do it on my computer when i get home... not sure about the glass being tempered, I guess I will find out when I drill. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

 

Thanks everybody!! I appreciate it! all comments and ideas are always welcome/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

 

There! I finally got it to work haha

 

Ok, quick question everyone. So the drilling kit wont be here until next week, but I was wondering what everyone's opinions were on where to place the returns for best flow. Also note that I will have 2 koralia 1050's in each front corner.


So should I drill them to the outsides Like I had originally planned?;





Or drill them towards the middle pointing out like this?;





(the rectangle with the blue circle is the overflow)


Thanks for your time!

Guess I should have posted my question in a different place haha

 

Well I got my kit from glass holes... everything looks great! I managed to get the overflow hole drilled today( looks like its not tempered! Phew!! Thats a relief!lol) And
sense nobody has an opinion on my question above I think ill just put the returns towards the outside...hopefully tonight when I get home..if not tomorrow morning.
Ill post pics when Im done.
Thanks for looking

I finished plumbing my overflow and received half of my sand today!


This is some great looking sand! Especially for the cost!








I ended up using 2 union fittings and 2 45deg fittings.














Hopefully the rest of my sand and my rock will be here tomorrow!


Thanks for looking everyone!

 

Thank you! I was going to paint, but I decided instead to just hang some kind of black fabric behind the tank.
