New 275 Envsion Acrylics tank.....

[nbd13]

Well here it is, now the canopy is still not on and its a bit cramped down stairs right now with that 180 still up, but it should like nice once its gone. You might be abel to see the 180 in some of these shots also... I still have to doors to put on the stand and canopy and right now i am just about to put the bulkheads on and start figuring out where to put the 3 darts for the closed loop....

anyway here it is in its mask i guess you could say....

i threw in a bottle of start1 so you could kind of get a refernce to the size. its hard to tell that the tank is 44" wide....

anyways here a full frontal view as you can see there is a large beam in the way, it will hinder the full tank shot, but i am not too concerned about that....



heres another closer up veiw of the front....



and heres a side view of the tank, the tank is angled so i have some room to work behind it, and it will be a nice view from the couch....



just as a reminder, the tank is 60" long X 44" wide X 24" tall.....

the sump is under the main tank now and the BK 300 inernal is in the sump now!

anyways i will post updates as i go along, right now i am going to place the 3 darts under the main tank for the closed loops and start to plumb the return....

Looking awesome bro! Wish I could have gone larger then 50" long, but we are close =). Mine is 50x44x30.

Cant wait to see your setup complete!

[nbd13]

i really wanted it to be 60x48x24 but couldnt get it down the stairs....

the transfer is happening saturday so pics should be up sunday of it stocked, i just pray that the darts dont leak and my ceramic rock gets here on time!

thanks!

wow that looks great!!!

i didnt know you had an AP702? (you need to clean it BTW, )

[invincible569]

Nice pics!! I also didnt know you had a Deltec. Why did you choose to go with a BK for this tank? Looks like the BK's are becoming very popular now! The tank is very wide! Just as how I expected it. Cant wait until you have water and rocks in it.

[Diesel3443]

Lookks great Nick. Cant wait to see this monster come together

[nbd13]

Thanks guys!

i got the deltec until my BK came in, then unfortunaltly i had to replace some parts on my car, so i could not get the BK at that time, BUT now i got the BK like i always wanted!!!!! this BK is a monster and i cant wait to get it going!

i just got done putting the finishing touches on the canopy so now all i haev to do is start to wire the VHOs, going with 3 36" and 1 48",

its coming along but slowly....

thanks again guys!

I can say this though, my favorite new "toy" i guess you could say that i got it the BK! i kind of want to try to squeeze it in the 180s sump, but i know i couldnt haha!

I hear you! I cant wait to try it too to see what all the hype is about. Im one of those who has to see to believe. But I think the best part about the BK is the power consumption. It has every other brand beat. And when you have a big tank, power consumption should be a high priority when choosing your equipment.

Hi Nick, I love the dimensions--your tank will give you plently of depth for aquascaping. Isn't this stuff fun Bob

[reefboy1]

Nice tank Nick - I can't wait to see the aquascaping. I keep have to restrain myself from rearranging my rocks...

Well i finshied plumbing all 4 darts today! and let me tell you I HATE PLUMBING NOW!!!!

tomorrow i am wiring the VHOs and running another circuit and then thursday i am doing the closed loop plumbing when my ceramic rock arrives and then its a fresh water leak test!

i really hope i do not have any problems with them, since Scott has had so many problems with them.....

Nick

[nbd13]

also i forgot to add, i got 4 of those jet stream bulkheads in the color black that i will be using along the back wall of my tank (which is black acrylic) and will be run of a closed loop on a dart.... thansk Scott for those BTW!

Nick, if you do a search on the "other forum" most ppl are happy with the dart, so i guess you will too
i think Scott had just bad luck, or maybe Scott is just trying to find an excuse to get Red Dragons, something like "honey, i am really sorry i tried the cheaper pumps but as you could see i HAD to buy the RD's i had no choice"
