Finally getting back into the reef world to cure my fixation.....Didnt touch the tank over summer but now its time to break her in. I took the wheels off and already plummed everything but the wheels are rated for several hundres pounds a piece! I kinda regret taking them off now becasue it would have been nice to move if needed. They are actually heavy duty casters so they would have been fine... anyways Build WILL be done this weekend!
Pics to come... da da da
Welll after friday and saturday working on the tank the build is complete... here is my cube tank.. its a 34G just a reminder.
To top it off i got 24 cree LED's - 12 RB and 12 NW with dimmable drivers and controller. Its awsome.. still waiting on fans. anyways everything works great and just started adding water and rock. Sand to come tomorrow!! oH my beautiful girlfriend is modeling the masterpiece haha
Yea i got the stand for free from Delphi when i use to do contract work there but never ended up using it untill now. I do have one concern about the wheels.. I dont know how well it will support all that weight when the tanks are filled up. I was considering taking them off when Im ready to fill the tank. They are plastic and It sure would cause one **** of a mess if one were to break.....
If you want casters on your stand you'll need to install sevral more of them to spread the weight evenly.Might want to consider a complete board with metal body caster and spread em out evenly then it will be no problem.I know a reefer who did this to his 90 gal corner tank.It works great and his tank is always somewhere diffrent when I visit.Nice build tho and great use of stand space and great planning.
PS--Sam placed his casters in as close to a 8 square pattern under his stand.Hope that makes sense
