what kind of lighting are you going to have for the thing?
are you going to have some in "tank" lights or some on the sides or just ceiling lights?

Right now I have two 500 watt flood lights that I'm rigging to the sides, but thinking of adding another two to the top plus two four foot lights from two 55 gals I got for free. These lights will not be used that much, and will only be there for when I clean, take pics, and show off to the locals!cnoel08;2341021; said:
It comes on every now and then. I don't think the garage is perfectly wired! The lights on the other end require you to unplug something from the wall before they will come on. Strange huh?basslover34;2340919; said:

no progress yet today. I still need another phillips bit before I can do anything else to this monster tank!!!
what kind of filtration are you running on this. whenever i see tanks like this i notice people pay like a thousand dollars just for the skimmer!!! is it one of those huge canisters that you sometimes see on pools. or is it DIY or something else.
It's going to be a diy filter, and the first day on the job isn't going to be til tomorrow now. Nobody was in today so I start tomorrow. The filter might end up having it's own thread since it's going to be ghetto for some people lol. 5 or 6 55 gal barrels!!! I've already decided on using 3 5000 gph pumps, which brings it to 250 gpm. I think that's plenty of flow. Might only have like 2 to start with so around 155 gph to start with.
if its not too personal, could you post/pm your costs total once you have everything set up and running?
Necro has been and most likely will post his costs on this tank, If there is one thing that you can count on with Necro other than being a Picture freak 
it's that he's honest about costs and likes to share how much/little things cost... the whole point of this tank is that it's being done to show that you can get a Huge really cool tank at a fraction of the cost that others spend to make them...so no more excuses of "it's to expensive"... it's just that you might have to sell some extra blood to pay it off
