![]() Thanks Grizz, and yes i do have a bit of catch up to do but here is what ive got done so far
I got the glass for the overflow drilled and cleaned up ![]() ![]() Then i got to putting the whole thing together and i was trying to match the seams to the tank, very minimalistic, and considering its not going to have much volume in the overflow i think ill do just fine ![]() ![]() Now do you guys remember the fans and the heater vent that i had on the desk in the previous picture? well this is what I plan on doing with those. (A big thanks to Enigma for the idea on the heater vent!) ![]() Then i wired them up rather crudely to a USB to make sure everything worked and was blowing the right way ![]() Then i got them all secured and wire tucked away, now they are ready for the transplant into the sump cabinet ![]() ![]() |

![]() Hey guys, heres an update on the tank! ITS ACTUALLY A TANK NOW!!!
i spend the last day cutting and setting and being stupidly anal about the silicone but its all done now! i just have to clean it up a bit and then its ready for the last stages of plumbing and then water!! ![]() ![]() ![]() I also got my sump plumbed to the bottom of the desk, i used flex line to make sure that if anything shifted it would have the room to move and not break things and stress stuff. I also plan on putting in hard wood in the house in the next 4 months so im not sure if that will effect it in anyway but i thought i would be safe rather then sorry ![]() ![]() ![]() |
