Talking NEW Tank Build !!!

I am pleased to announce the new tank build can now finally start. Thanks to Dave at Concepts for the amazing tank and stand, both are the best quality I have ever seen! The tank having a one piece Euro Brace and 100% star fire with unique total clear silicon.

The tank is 36x32x24 with external overflow. The sump will be in the basement about 8 feet below the tank.

The system will run everything we distribute one way or another but also form the basis for all future marketing photos for GHL equipment, for example the Mitras. The tank will run just one single silver Mitras HV.

Here are some photos I took at 1.45am this morning after getting off a plane back from Turks and Caicos getting in the door at 1.30am!! Something was bugging me! Did I measure our door gap right? will the stand fit? 30 minutes in the garage with a jenny bar and a tape measure confirmed my thoughts. Yep I measure wrong the stand wont fit, so it has to go through the patio doors, so now I have to snow blow the side of the house and around the swimming pool and get some lads over to get the stand through the rear patio doors. But before that the stand is off to a local cabinet makers to have a little mod done to it I did not get done during manufacture.

This will be a painstaking slow build, so next update will be a while

Who needs a specialist when you have a spare post downstairs you could use to support your back..That's the build that would be interesting..Back in the day my 'pain' specialist Dr. Molson was never far away... fortunately he has retired.. anyways de-railing again.

Epidural fibrosis thanks to spine surgery is not pleasant I am now doing Prolotherapy (check spelling)

Now I am derailing.

Back to the tank - just got heater, will install later as tan should be flowing by midnight.

What's the glass thickness on your display? I'd be surprised if Dave built that with 10mm?

I think he just want to warn you that MP10s don't work well on glass thicker than 10mm if at all.

Correct 10mm is the thickest they will work on and yes the glass IS 10mm thick

The included Rubber Spacer must be used between the Dry Side and the wall for thicknesses of 1/8” (3mm) and 3/16” (5mm). The Rubber Spacer is not needed for thicknesses of 1/4” (6mm) or 3/8” (10mm). Failure to use the Rubber Spacer can damage the pump, which WILL NOT be covered under warranty.

crap you are right I forgot about the acrylic that adds 3mm.

MP40's way overkill, looks like tunze is going to be the route sadly.
