sorry bout that......

Pics fixed...... :redface:

wow!! Flip up top could come in handy. :biggrin:

YUP....... Gets it right up out of your way when working on the tank.... :razz:

It's a little tricky though, Those hindges only come in 14" door is 20" JUST sits up there. I think I have to add a little weight to the top end. I little bug I have to work out yet.

So heres how I fixed the bug........ :lol:

I took an old pry bar that I got from my Grandfather many many years ago......flatened it out and routered a space for it at the top of the door on the inside.........works great .......and a piece of history inbeded in the tank stand to boot........Kinda cool :razz:

Hello All.......

I have a new found respect for people that choose to put in a new tank. The work involved is incredible.

So lets get to the tank:

Here is the backing I have gone with. It's vinyl with clear mac-tac. I had 4 hands helping it went well and with about one hour of working out the bubbles it was smooth as glass. If this is the look your after, I highly recommend it.... :razz:

The stand is (as you can see) back from paint. Great job Rob (Majestic) thank you

Well the tank is in and running, sofar only a couple of loses still a day to day thing.
Will update soon with pics and how this move was done..... :cool:

Richard, nice job. What are the three way intakes for? Or why are there strainers on the returns?

Hey Troy......

Yes....there intakes for the closed loop. 3 strainers to 2 1in lines that Y into a Mak-4. I split it up this way to cut down on the sucking power in the tank.

Well.......

As you can see, it's in place.....the move went well
