Chris66 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Just thought I'd share my new build, it's 8x5x2.5. Will be a full walk around plumbed from underneath with a 6x3x1.5 sump. Will be stocked with wc and f1 Africans. Not long till tank arrives now. buck, professor_rob, spiesie and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnRex Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Awesome! How are you getting power it? I look forward to watching this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris66 Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Unfortunately will have to be from a wall point along the ground but will run it through something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnRex Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Fair enough, I guess there's not alot of uses for a power point in the middle of the garage floor if you ever move the tank. What type of africans are you going to keep? All one species or mixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a automatic door from the pic? There should be a power point above the tank maybe use that multi on that. if you have it tank under the door when it opens stuff stuck to the door will drop into the tank if you open it, especially when it's been raining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris66 Posted September 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Oh ok well when he is ready chad will do them for ya! As for the power at ceiling the tank isn't going in the middle it's going on the side and I don't want ugly power cords hanging down the tank. Also stuff coming off the door not a big issue. crusty76 and Ejek 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
