I wanted 12". But none to be found. These are 6"x6" and considered wall tiles

I found 12 x 12 at Home Building Center

looking good.
Lets see all the frags you have already though. I know I want some of them. lol.

[Proteus]

Haha. Jeff yeah all in due time.

Finally got my hole saw in mail. Was a little Leary about it as its from Hong Kong and seemed a little lite for 3.5".
But it cut great less than 5 minutes and my sock holder is done.

Plumbing is done. Just waiting for a pump should be in this week.


Marco Rock been wet for a month now u guess. From beginning I added a sponge that was in sump and some rubble. Should be long now. Also been using tank water and nsw for WC on rock.

Had to build light hanger as the one I built on frame wasn't going to work. I am going to use black stove bolts on this but didn't feel light going into city so I used bolts I had. This side is not viewable as it will be against a wall

Looking awesome buddy

What are the dimensions of your external overvlow box? Moreover, what is the depth of your cut for the weir?

[Proteus]

Over flow is 12"w x 6"d x4"

Cut out is 2". If it is to low ill put a piece on glass behind it

[Skimmerking]

dude that top down looks sick man well done. I like the look of the tile on the bottom

[Proteus]

Thanks guys. I love the tile. (Stole from Levi ) nice thing about the tiles is the deepwater acros get mounted right to them. Lol

My wife tried to convince me against it but even now she's diggin it.

I have the mp10s set at 30% and the speedwave on stage 3 if I go any higher clams end up on their side and fish hit the deck.

I stoped by nicks place the other day and I have to say this tank is one of the nicest Tanks I've seen. I think this build need some new pictures!!
