Moving 1000 liter tank

Its 1.6meter x 1 meter wide x 800 high

 

Looking awesome @Hooks!!

Well done!!
Hahha nice to see the kids helping!

 

Kids always want to help when not asked, bt along as they bussy. And my son that's 8yesrs is just to proud that he helped me and cant wait to see what fish is going into the swimming pool. As when the tank was on the floor I put him inside and was amazed how big it was.

 

Do you use a glue to join/seal the pipe joins or does it self seal?.

 

It all depends on the type of connections.
The PVC pipe is glued in with PVC glue at most bends. As I would not remove it and to make sure it doesn't leake. There is like a joint connection so I can detach it. Or just block water off. See pic

 

Thanks for the info, thinking about setting up some piping to make water changes easier, which glue do you use?

 

There a tap like connection on the side, That for draining water out of sump. And tap higher up that I close thet flows to tank. Pump connectet to bottom of pipe. The glue just says PVC would. Like pink tube.

 

So the sump and overflow pipe is connected. Just need to connect return pipes.

 

I love the workmanship.....goals.

 

Looking real good and neat @Hooks

 

So here is some updates.
Glass lid with slider installed with small cut out for return inlet.

 

Sump lid and all piping installed. Plug points added. Black vinyl added to back glass.

 

Nice setup, look forward to seeing it progress

 

Nice looking good, cant believe this stunner is going to stand outside, I would, if I was you... give the misses lots of roses or whatever to be able to put it in the house rather

 

As I'm waiting for paint to dry on sump cupboard I filled it made sure sump running smooth.

Thanks so much. I have tried it all. Even used the fatherday present option and removing current 1.5meter out of passage/lounge area lol.

 

Was waiting for paint to dry on sump cupboard and started filling sump and making sure its flowing 100% and added 50% water to tank sofar. Not sure what was more frustrating, waiting for paint to dry or looking how long it takes to fill tank.

 

Looking good, awesome dimensions... So many possibilities...

 

Looking fantastic and awesome size

The frustrating part is once everything is done and you waiting to be able to add fish... staring at the empty tank is torture!!

 

So last night I could not sleep...as I got tank running. Everything went well. Just waiting for temp to increase. Some fine tuning to be done on return nossel, as it to high up on surface and splashing to much on lid.
