ROFL... I'm going to jack it up and make it so you need as few people as possible... not much lifting mostly sliding from the jacked up rollers it's on to the stand then the hard part is lifting one side to take out the boards then lifting the other side. But I'll keep it in mind

Well this is me soldering the pipe to the aluminum plate (to fill in gaps and help with heat transfer) It's kinda messy but a little cleaning and it won't look too bad... plus it will be on the side nobody can see

How is your heatsink going to be set up? I maybe missed it but are you running tank water through the copper pipe? Or will it be attached outside somehow?

It will be on a separate closed loop system that will travel under the ground to dissipate heat... I may in the future branch off of the pipe and have it run through some plastic pipe and have tank water on the outside of the pipe to cool the tank on hot days.

Nice thread! Lots of great and original ideas.

Agreed some pretty hardcore stuff going on here. I dig your creativity.

Especially love the shot of you taking the rock out on the raft lol! Not something I've seen in many (or any) build threads.

Thanks I hope that with my "original ideas" (most are rip offs of other people just applied slightly different) I can do some things that have not been done that well in reefing (like a high bio load)

I hope with my creativity that I can create a very low maintenance set-up, but the set-up is hella slow.... I want my fish! oh well soon enough

Tagging Along !

I wondered if the ceiling above the tank would be staying? Is there much space above for access to the tank?

Welcome aboard... There is not much space... it may be a problem in the future but for now it's staying the way it is... (I'll cross that bridge if I come to it)

I love a good build thread and this one is great. Have put any thought yet into livestock?
