    In Wall Fish Tank Build Thread

    I can't seem to get a good enough picture of it because it's such a small chip. I ran to my local hardware store and picked up some silicone and just sealed it up. My initial look at it worried me because I thought the glass had separated but apparently that wasn't the case. The tank standing...

    Thanks for the info Marvel. I was speaking more so about the "stand" that the tank will sit on. The walls are already completed. I'm thinking I'll just over build and make it the fort knox of tank stands this way there won't be any chance of the sucker breaking once the tank is fully up and...

    Measurements are completed. I will be putting up the frame this weekend, possibly next weekend. I'm actually working one wall at a time and this is my first wall. I figured if I botch anything then this will be the wall I screw up on so I'll do it first, this way I can tear down without any...

    It's what I already have. I had this tank for two+ years now but I haven't been able to use it recently due to relocations. I'll be adjusting my stock as time goes on but in the meantime the 150 is what I have.

    Hey everyone, We have settled into our new home after a few short months. I've finally convinced the wife to allow me to create my very own in the wall fish tank display. The only area she has agreed to let me take this projects on is within the basement. At the moment this is an unfinished...

    Planning stages for my setup

    Would you think 1/8" would be enough or would that be too thin and might snap on its own?

    Planning stages for my setup

    I learned my lesson haha. I remember when I first start my tank up and didn't do ANY planning... didn't even know what I needed for a SWT. That later bit me in the butt and since then I have vowed to myself that if I wanted to have a showcase like aquarium that planning is the only way it'll...

    Planning stages for my setup

    I wanted to get everything on paper right now for what I need... I was taking a look at the reef packages on SWF.com and found these two. Again I have a 150 gallon, can I get some opinions as to which you feel would be best...

    Planning stages for my setup

    Awesome. Buying it right now so I have everything I need when I start. Thank you! Another addition that I will be using will be the SmartWave by Hydro. I will be hooking up my two 1400s and two 1050s to the device and will hopefully be able to create a nice wave momentum! Has anyone used...

    Planning stages for my setup

    Hey Flower. Thanks for the heads up. I'm actually looking at attaching the smaller pieces versus the larger ones. Just something that can make a bridge for the fish to swim under. I'm going to look into that bond foam you were referring to. That's interesting and should do exactly what I...

    Planning stages for my setup

    Hey everyone, So I'm working on getting all the items I need to fix up my tank and get it back to looking brand new. But then I started to think more about what will be inside of it... and now I need to put my ideas on paper (or the modern day paper). I've learned from my mistakes and my...

    Acrylic Scratches

    Ok. I won't use a tool for it then and I'll do it by hand. The scratches are pretty deep though. Deep enough to see them, and if you run your hand across the inside of the tank you can feel it. You think it'll be possible to still get that scratch out?

    Acrylic Scratches

    Ok, so I'm putting together my shopping list. Right now I have: -8oz of each Novus 1,2,3 -DeWalt 3-Amp Orbital Power Sander With the orbital power sander do I have to buy special sandpaper that is compatible with the tool, or do I just attach it onto the tool?

    Sparty's LED Build

    Decided to spoil myself with my bonus and will get three Vega LED lights. I won't be getting them right away (I have work on the acrylic first that needs to be done) but I've decided on it!
