Update Well, as of today, no problems, I've tried to over build the aquarium to make less issues occure. I also built into the aquarium repair areas to disassemble things when something happens. Finally, the aquarium maintenance room got a couple of coats of polyurethane finish protecting my...

This is my pump: Active Aqua Commercial Air Pump, 12 Outlets, 112W, 110 L/min :fish1: I feel that the pump is great for what I wanted. Mine is noisy, so i placed it in another location which has reduced the noise a lot. :oops: I knew that they make noise, from my research, and I had a backup...

This one I call little Nemo. Everyone seems to be getting along.

These are my experiment parts.

OK, I hope this works out, a experiment in the making. I just ordered another controller. I have ordered, received a probe with a plug in. Now, I'm going to build a longer extension for the probe. I have some project boxes to work into the experiment. The other controller will be stock and a...

Update :dance: As of today: The R800104/AF-92 LIFEGARD inline heater/ controller is keeping the tank at 77-80 degrees, i love it. :fish1: The Penn Plax 1000 is great quiet, I've got a extra baskets for quick replacement. I also have a extra set of control valves if i have to service the Penn...

It's been a labor of love. :fish2: This is the cabinet I fabricated from a old china hutch made in 1968, its the access into the aquarium equipment room. First I measured the wall for the cabinet. The cabinet was disassembled, cut up then re-assembled, the drawers were converted to a...

:banghead: Thanks it was a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and a few choice words under my breath. :fish1: :fish2:

Right one is the aquarium lights Left one is the motor for the piano key movement Middle one is for the aquarium multicolor spot light

Seems like the fish are physically doing fine, the fish are getting along, with no problems. Now that is really good news.

I don't know the type of wiring needed, if its special or not. I have a desk set up just for soldering, with several different guns for temperature.

I have two thermometers for each side of the tank, this way I can check that the water temperature is equal. I'm looking for a longer probe, its six foot, I need ten foot.

The piano came first, then I built the acrylic tank specifically for the aquarium, a L48" X H16" X D12" . The equipment came last, the aquarium, water, decorations, gravel and piano must weigh about 700-800 pounds. It's a beast.:)

The finished aquarium. I hope you enjoyed my photos, this took over a year to build, a lot of work is involved into building a aquarium that has everything hidden from the tank.

Fish feeder holder on the door. The piano lid has been modified for a fish feeding without having to raise the lid. The hold open I installed is a brute. Decorations are the pirate theme.

The covers are not the same, I wanted to utilize the strength of the top of the aquarium, the more material the top has, the stronger the tank. I talked to a engineer who gave me some advice. I fabricated covers for the top of the aquarium, this will prevent splashing.

This kind of says it all, I did: The electrical work, installing a sub panel from the garage. PVC plumbing, with a lot of; valves, gravity one way valves, disconnects, making repairs a snap. 250 GPH inline pump. Inline heater for the 200 gallon tanks or less. Penn Plax 1000 filter, a real...

This is what i used on my o rings, makes everything sealed up the first time. Fabricating light holders. Water valve from the house to fill the tank. I also have a drain valve into the house, both work fast. The piano set up.

Building a tank for the piano space. The bulkheads are the heavy duty type. The PVC pipe is painted using a non toxic paint. I used plenty of disconnects, this way repairs are easier. I only used heavy duty plastic pipe. You will notice everything is marked so things are easier to...

Yes, from the time the piano arrived, until I finished.

Hello, I'm not much on introduction, I'm to the point, and I don't want to take up your time. I'm really pleased with the results thus far, for the past year and a half i have been fabricating what I call the "pianoaquarium" from hell. A lot of work went into this project. I'm...
