Re: Ghost Tank

Concrete slab is up and leveled. Now I must put the tank on there and plaster the rest of the stand to size

Re: Ghost Tank

Plumbing plastering and woodwork can start tomorrow. Still got some bugs to sort out on my lights control circuit. Fitting my tubes underneath a hanging mirror over the weekend. All must go fast now. I want to add sand rock and water on the next spring tide(about 8 days from now)

Re: Ghost Tank

Re: Ghost Tank

Yes lionfish I nearly forgot about that. The tank and slab is 40mm(1and a half inch) away from the back wall leaving space for piping and wiring. There is also a 110mm round hole in the slab in the back corner for the drain, but I think i figured out a easier way for a overflow. As soon as I have it sorted I'll post pics

Re: Ghost Tank

I agree with Doc. Did you place the tank on tiles? or foam? Thumbs up
