350G Round Custom Build Motorized Tank

[cali_reef]

The return doesn't need to be physically attached to the tank. If the tank is shaped like a donut, the return can be free standing and come up through the hole.

Draining the water into the sump is a little trickier, but nothng that a little engineering couldn't overcome.

Looks like there are two holes drilled in the center overflow box for return plumbing, along with a single larger drain hole.

:lol2: dont you love when mordern technology comes into play with our tanks

btw don't think the tank is donut shaped, the second pic shows three holes cut into the glass at the center

Did not realized so many ppl are interested in the mechanics of the tank!

Why not order one from me and you guys can dissect it. HAHAHAHHAHA.

Wingo can you PM how much would it be for just the tank drilled like that, with no motor stand or sump?

Nice tank , would I have to trade in my car pay for it ?:scratch:

If including the live stock, you definately have to.

But I don't know what car you have. I once bought an used car costing less than my RC car. :groupflip

Beautiful tank Wingo.
I will definatly be interested in one.
Only on a smaller scale.
The engineering is amazing.
Very impressed.

Why not add a series of platforms that alternate up and down and put live rock, or corals on them. kind of like a merry-go-round for fish with an ever changing view

I just saw this thread. That tank is crazy! :bigeyes2: And I can't believe there are only, like, 5 pix.

Aquascaping must have been a *****! :banghead:

That's an interesting idea but perfecting this technology to be reef safe, tank crack safe, mechanical fail safe could be a tough and never ending task.

Dude, that is one of the most innovativetanks i have ever seen! Huge fan! You have got to put up more pics, of ANYTHING!

Dude, what is it? A teleporter? :lol: Or a fancy bus stop?

Looks like something straight out of the movie "Space Balls"
