~|~ Night-rida's New 55g reef tank #2 Build ~|~

Looks just like a Eshopps overflow box although my Eshopps say it right on the clear box.

 

thought i'd ask.. I guess the good ol' craigslist is in order

 

Look great!! I'm jealous.

 

Yes sir id hit it up if you. Ant find anything i have a means of helping you get some.

 

lol thanks, Im jealous of your bi-weekly reef fish & coral additions, your jealous of my homemade eggcrate fuge.. ;D lol

 

Congrats, buddy!! It looks great! did you post anywhere the "Making of"? If not, I would like to know how did you plumb it all? Are the tanks sharing the water now?

 

sorry the only thing i did a "making of" was the diy $100 cree led strip, its a sticky in the DIY section. as for plumbing both systems are seperate for now. just did the standard overflow box to a 3' flex hose to sump/fuge and 3/4" return back.. nothing exciting but it works for me. if I had room for my 15g tall fuge then I would have did a little different plumbing job, but it didnt want to fit without cutting the wood center brace in the front of stand. after much debating I decided to put the saw away, use the 10g, and drink a beer.

 

It looks great to me!
I bought an eshopps overflow with the dual drain, but I'm trying to figure out how to plumb it without drilling. I think flexible hose will also be the way I'll do it. The bulkheads are 1" ID and threaded on the outside. Any ideas how to hook the flexi hose to the outside of the bulkhead without leaking later on?

It's good to see you back on!
