I'm insane. I really am. I've had my 125 for, oh, 6 months? I'm already wishing it was larger. So, I like GARF's little script that generates cut sizes. The instructions are a bit lacking, as is to be expected with such a generic program for giving tank building directions, as each size will definitely look/be different. I have a few questions, as the actual building will be many months to a year away. My questions are:
1. Does anyone know of a site with more detailed directions?
2. The brace sizes on the GARF page are a bit confusing...if it's how I have in the diagram below, the sizes are throwing me off.
3. Any other general tips or advice? I'll be making one that is 96x26x26 (LxWxH) out of glass.
I'm thinking 4 overflows, one per 2-feet of tank...probably with double standpipes in each overflow box. And 4 return holes...I'll probably put a T fitting in each and go a foot in both directions, spray-bar style. Or I might just go with strategically angled PVC.
Overflow boxes also probably made from glass? Or perhaps acrylic boxes are better? I know you can order acrylic overflow boxes.
Anywho, ANY and ALL thoughts/opinions/advice are greatly appreciated!!
