Not a dog bed. He's been putting in some late hours on the tank.

Unless I missed it, there is a dog bed and we have not seen a picture of the furry helper yet.

I'll try to get them in some pictures. They just wanna sit in front of it when it's done and watch it and Chase the fish.

The texture on that ceiling is amazing. I don’t think I have ever seen anything like that.

I should have takin the warning about the eclipse overflows. Just got it filled enough to start draining aannndddd it was draining all over the floor by the time I made it back up stairs. I even snugged the bulkheads on the boxes before I glued them up. But maybe that quarter turn on the PVC turned a few loose. They make it look so easy on tanked.

Yea I dont see why not. I'll loosen them up clean it off and reseat them and if that doesn't work then caulking it is.

How hard is it going to be to adjust all the overflows to be silent?

Also why did u run them all sepratly instead of joining them and then running it to the basement?

I would just be scared if it was me is all and would think if it isn’t perfect it is going to be loud I wish u luck

Tank looks amazing btw great job

 

[Bounce House]

Looks like it is coming along nicely.

Just read 16 pages and it was worth the read, great build and can't wait to see it fully running. Also +1 on that ceiling it's pretty cool.

It should be the same as adjusting one just dial it in with a little tweak here and there. If I joined them all together it would pull or syphon more and be hard to tune off of one gate valve and thank you.

Still waiting on details of the ceiling...
And I'm really loving the tank shape!

 

[Medical_Reef]

I got here just in time! Glad I didn’t start following two years ago. Impressive patience and dedication! I thought taking 6 months to successfully get my tank started was unbearable.

 

[Johnson]

back in business!!! Gonna run it for a few days to check the plumbing and clean it out and catch all the PVC shavings in some filter socks.

Man I am so glad you never gave up.

This is going to be beautiful

the drains are still pretty noisy is the secondary drain supposed to be under water also? I couldn't find a good answer. If I adjust the gate valve more it's starts gulping and draining the overflow.

 

[DeniseAndy]

I had to find that just right place for the second drain too. I believe I read somewhere exactly how much higher it should be. What I found worked best is adjust the gate valve for just a trickle to go down the second. Mine is now silent (for the most part). Took some time to adjust though. I was surprised how much I actually turned the drain down.
