Its On! Martin's Reef ADA 60-P Nano Build

[FinsUp]

Yeah, I was drooling over that icebox when we brought the nano over. I'm surprised you didn't notice me wiping my mouth a lot.

It's been so long you mentioned this upcoming build that I forgot all about it.

Tagging along, can't wait to see the ADA running.

Ok, I have some update tonight. I did not get anything done this week due to being sick, but I did make some progress to day. So here it goes.

Drilling the stand

Just big enough for the bulk head.

Back hole drilled

Bulk head installed.

Here is the custom overflow/surface skimmer box I had made for me by Eric Drew (Calvin415) Thanks E!

So when I was dry fitting the stand and sup I found a problem!

The out let is right in the stand and right next to the sump!

This making my nervous I changed it to a GFIC outlet and will be build a splash guard.

I got my Dj PC-100A power supply installed in the stand. This will make maintenance easy.

I'm sure already thought of this, but can you tighten the nut on the bulkhead through the hole? My outlet is right next to my sump too, I put a sheet of delrin between the dump and electricity

I also got the original beaded t&g boards re installed and the back of the stand. I left a few off so I had access for power cords.

Awesome job on the stand! That old ice chest was a great idea and has a new lease on life. Keep the updates coming.

A little of this, a little that but mostly zoas and palys.

Well today I am going to try and frost the back glass as ADA was out of stock on the 60P-F (frosted) when I ordered the tank. But we will see! I don't want to go to fast and get some of you all worked up about my Ol'timer status! :brick:
