how did u install the sink u should do a video on that

notw21 - 7 years ago

unfortunately I don't live where this tank is set up anymore. it's my parents house. also the plumbing is just ran behind the wall in the attic and then comes out right under the sink. it's just basic plumbing. I do miss this tank sometimes, but my dad has a couple African cichlids in there now.

Music made it hard to watch your video. Nice job..

Marcel FANCIOTTO - 8 years ago

it's amazing. What a good worker you are. The way you buildt your tank seems so easy, but need a lot of knowledge. Congratulation.

notw21 - 8 years ago

yeah it was a ton of work and planing but if you set your mind to it and learn as much as you can you could do it too. thanks for the nice word.

Oh My God! This is Unbelievable! Can you make me a custom wall tank? :D

Piet Villarin - 10 years ago

Very nice can i have the dimension of your tank? i really like it because it doesnt have braces on the floor of the tank. How thick is the glass your are using?

jason montano - 10 years ago

So what's on the other side of the wall that allowed you to hook up the sink?

notw21 - 10 years ago

Thanks very much!

Aniket Karvir - 11 years ago

Nice job dude

Mike Graham - 11 years ago

its not a problem if you have plenty of flow to circulate the water. almost all manufacturer built reef ready tanks have the return in the overflow box.

notw21 - 11 years ago

thank you very much. haha

FOTOGRAMA30 - 11 years ago

wow, increidible!!

notw21 - 11 years ago

look into some more of my videos there is a few fish and corals already in there. I would love to have a mp40 ,but i cant afford a 300 to 500 powerhead......sadley

Joe K - 11 years ago

Simply amazing. Can't wait to see it with the fish + coral. (a Vortech MP40 would sure be a nice addition on the side opposite the overflow box)

notw21 - 11 years ago

my return is on the opposite side of the overflow box.Is that what you are talking about?

packinwood2009 - 11 years ago

Any updates on this? I wanted to build a tank where the return and the overflow were on the same skinny side of the tank but people have suggested not doing this because the water will only circulate right on that side of the tank. Has it worked out for you?

notw21 - 11 years ago

the acrylic does slow get some on there but i have 4 fans on my circulating air so i don't have much up there.Also having the bean animal over flow i have very little splash from the over flow as in almost zero inless there is a snail up there.

Mike R - 11 years ago

How did that splash guard work for you on the LEDs? I added a sheet of acrylic exactly like that to protect my LEDs but noticed after a few weeks condensation would settle on the inside and dry ( leaving foggy water spots ) was curious if you had the same issues. I ended up just taking the splash guards off.

notw21 - 11 years ago

Thanks anything i can do to help others out is an acomplishment for me.

nyinfamous2k2 - 11 years ago

Amazing build man, going to save this for future reference.

notw21 - 12 years ago

@astchiefy well thanks for mentioning it. and it for sure is a great idea for anyone out there to try and do to.thanks for leaving a comment!

Dee From Brooklyn - 12 years ago

Hey Matt, Have I ever mentioned how extremely wise it was to install a sink in your tank build??? :-)

finger11yo - 12 years ago

nice video you should check out my 75 gallon. What size was your previous tank

JUNIOR IBANEZ - 12 years ago

wow, wow, wow, wow, !!!!

starfish4220 - 12 years ago

Wow awesome build fella! fantastic diy skills. Subcribed nice one.. :)

shardinio - 12 years ago

Mate! that is one sexy setup! Love the design and construction. How much did all of that set you back? cost?

notw21 - 12 years ago

Is something wrong springs24?

Mike Bradley - 12 years ago

Great job...

Reef Share - 12 years ago

Really pretty good idea... WOW it's amazing DIY setup, I love DIY reef tanks! COngrats Buddy!

notw21 - 12 years ago

lets put it this way I thought this out over a years time. Then finally put it into form and its taking a couple of months to do. haha

Eric Schoen - 12 years ago

wow very pro i had a similer idea for about a year now and never got down to it

notw21 - 12 years ago

The only 2x6's are on the joist on the floor for wider support and the stand is a little tricky to explain. If you notice in the video each step for the bottom and the top the supporting structure are just to fit the tank. Yes it is a 40 gallon breeder. Yes it is a SRO1000ss I think that's how they say that haha. I hope i helped you out I am new to the whole video uploading and commenting back..

scott haviaras - 12 years ago

Like the built in and very smart with the sink in that cabinet.

notw21 - 12 years ago

Simply measured the inside of the tank to get my length then notched the edges for the brace, and spaced them out 1/4 of an inch but i would recommend a little bigger spacing.:) thanks for the sub, and comment. I can't wait to get out more videos to.
