a big fan of your build

Bob

Thanks Bob, Profilux is drool worthy.

Nothing to update yet as I have been very busy with a big contract and trying to get some of my outside work done before the white crap starts to fall. Hope to get the towers finished and into the house by next weekend though.

The Grizz 12-02-2013 04:46 AM

UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!!!
 
Alright then ladies and gents here's an update for anyone that is still interested.

After almost 2 months of rebuilding our kitchen from the floor up I finally got a chance to finish building the end towers & stand for the 60 gal, painted and moved into the house. A couple of weeks back I cut the front face panels for the bottom of the whole stand & found some premade doors that match the size I required.

Here's a few pics..........

Looks like a good kitchen for a Reef Meet!:mrgreen:

Snufflupagus 12-03-2013 04:20 AM

Wow great job on everything Greg! That kitchen is killer! Nice to see that tank coming along nicely too! Will have to come see it sometime once this darn snow stops and I can get my car out of my alley. Great job bud!

Doug 12-03-2013 04:49 AM

Beautiful kitchen Greg.

Thanks Colin, I would say come out anytime but not until my road gets plowed first. I barely made it down it today in my truck.

Hope to get all the rest of the stand skinned this week so I can start the process of organizing my equipment.

The Grizz 12-08-2013 08:19 AM

Well made a small amount of progress tonight despite being up since 4 am due to an emergency call out followed by 2 more through out the day, hate this cold weather cause it always causes equipment break downs. Had a little nap after call out #2 which it seems was not a good idea cause now I cant get to sleep.

Anyways the bottom front of the stand is all faced and doors on, have to finish my command center on the left end so I can get the doors on as well. Then its to the top cabinets, light hanger & canopy...........

Stay tuned...........

Jesseboyko 12-09-2013 02:28 AM

Wow your tank is amazing can't wait to see it filled!! Keep the pictures coming:biggrin:

BackPackHunter 12-11-2013 08:28 AM

And the thread just stops ?
I've been reading this every second I had a chance sense 10 pm
(I'm @ work, not that slow of a reader)
It's like reading a good book n finding out someone rip out the last 10 pages


Just for that..

Closed loop !

Sorry I couldn't help my self
That's is a dream setup ... Way to go I love the DIY
Feels so much better at the end ...

Surprised you didn't drop this here........I just read your 300 g. Thread, do I have to wait till next season like with a tv show? I'm left hanging , are the cubes in place? Is the wood done?
How's your back? That's a closed loop right? (Sorry couldn't help myself)

Wow that tank is crazy, the thought that's gone into it is probably more the the labour time...

I'm going to drive you crazy with questions

Do you have a favourite drink or like wild meat? Going need to keep you happy :)


:lol: Will not have to wait until next season......

Cubes are not in yet maybe in a week......
Wood work is almost done hopefully by Sunday.....
Back/shoulder is day to day......
NO closed loop :lol:........
Long Islands or Kokanee & wild meat, Im a bear so yes..

Have a couple little things to do and I will be filling the tank and getting it salty again hopefully by Sunday, taking a good portion of water from the other tanks to get it all started and seeding some more rock in the existing tank.

Stay tuned another pic update this week.

BackPackHunter 12-11-2013 04:55 PM

Last night was the first night shift in a few weeks, some of that post doesn't make sense and I'm still up
I thought it stopped in August ...lol
But the post I look at was Dec 9 not Aug 12 lol
Sorry to get all upset

I'll b watching for updates
If you need a hand let me know, if I'm not working I'm there

The Grizz 12-17-2013 05:00 PM

Last night after a long day I decided to sit in the corner & get all my pumps wired in, took some time & effort to get it done the way I wanted it but success was had.

wow, that looks sharp!

So Greg, I read in Coralmaster's thread that you switched to closed loop on your tank? Got pics of that to share with us?

The Grizz 12-17-2013 05:10 PM

Next step is to finish the front of the top cabinets & get these thing figured out for a little something special I have in mind.

Clean electrical install! Looking good. Actuators to lift the top?

Thanks Kiener but I assure you that I absolutely positively DID NOT switch to a closed loop & for the mention in Coralmasters thread I think Denny deserves a 5 a.m. wake up call on Thursday morning.

Thanks, they will be lifting something but not the top as I have to put a couple shelf's above the tank to keep the wife happy, if that's even a possibility.:twised:

Now there's an idea :lol:

Need to pick up a 2" stroke actuator & see if i can build a locking system for all the doors as well to keep the grandsons out of the sump area.

wreck 12-17-2013 06:01 PM

wow that wiring is super clean!!! nice work!!

Craigdillman 12-17-2013 07:46 PM

Having just completed all my "wire hiding" in my set up,good job love that clean no clutter look
