crazy tank build coming soon..

[OhNoNemo]

:lol:,ok,i thought maybe they were some special $200 lenses

Some can be but not all. And if you're not sure if they're polarized, look at the back windshield on a car or suv, most if not all have tempered glass and you'll see the pattern I'm talking about

I've often thought about the possibility of joining two tanks together at a 90 degree angle so they can go around a corner. I think it would be sweet.

 

[slm32123]

I like PRC's thought there. heck, you could probably even do that with the idea of the tubes. put the tank in a corner, and frame them, then you could even cut out the size of the tubes, make a top buttom and side walls, so that it lets you see them like they are set back further in the wall. I probably just confused the crap outta ya but maybe youll understand

 

[OhNoNemo]

FYI, the sides are not tempered:lol:,looks like the original plan is underway

 

[Wes888]

Look scary, but good. :D Looking good! :D

 

[OhNoNemo]

Yeah,i never did anything like this before,but what the heck..one was my starter salt tank and the other held my piranha for years before he recently died....i probably couldn't get but 100 bucks if that,for them ,so its on with the build...i'm going to remove the second panel tonight.Then start on the frame ,hopefully Sunday.

 

[PRC]

Won't the seam in the middle of the tank drive you crazy?

 

[OhNoNemo]

Nope,i'm going to frame both of them.Its a long way from the finished product ,but i have the vision:lol:...i also want to have them set back in the wall abit,so its not completly flush,and kinda have a window sill affect.

 

[troybuckle]

How is the project coming along any new updates?

 

[OhNoNemo]

Just have both side panels removed...I'll start on the frame next week...this is probably where it starts to slow down abit,but i'll keep it updated when any major changes happen:Cheers:

 

[Wes888]

more pictures please. :D

 

[OhNoNemo]

couple more pics,then this project will slow down,i got my kids school starting and soccer and swimming, and 3 yr olds and 5 month olds....ect,ect....

 

[BL1]

That looks really cool nemo!

 

[dcantucson]

Very cool Matt, but I have to ask WHY! Sometimes you DIY guys are just too adventurous! :shock: How long is that thing?

 

[OhNoNemo]

When people ask why ,i say why not??...its 2 75's ,so its 8 ft x 1 1/2 ft...i had 3 75's at one point..sold one for 75 bucks,so rather than get em all cleaned up for someone ,only to make 100 some bucks,i might as well get......crazy:lol:...its a long way from done.

 

[OhNoNemo]

Starting on the frame tomorrow :D

 

[reeffreak]

What do you except from a Steeler's fan....craziness!

Good luck with the project.

 

[Hiker4twenty]

Good luck. I'm interested to see how this one turns out.

 

[OhNoNemo]

Steelers ,well,what can i say...i hope they go with Dixon though(i think they get a wild-card )
