All screws in and lift the frame out. done and nexttttttttttt
I've to make a lot of the same frames, to make it easier to put them together I make blocks on the table so every part of the frame is put together in the blocks, only thing I've to do is drill the holes and put screws in. Works a lot easier and faster with only 2 hands lol

The same I do with the "legs" from the set up. All legs have to be the same and the blocks were the frames rest on have to be on every leg at the same position. I make a stop (the end that rests on the floor) and make two blocks on the table were the block has to come on the leg, think the pictures make it clear lol

Lookin' good Hans If I can make a suggestion though, you should put something under the legs so the wood isnt sitting on the cement wicking up water, I use bricks or hockey pucks.
got any pics of a silver pigeon snakeskin?
Thanks Jason.
Don't like the bricks under it, makes it harder to vacume under the racks, liked the puck idea. Looked for hockey pucks, no were to get, out off season.
We don't get much water on the floor, only with catching Discus, I checked the "old" legs after 3 years no problem at all, so those will be on the floor too.
Didn't get much done this week, to freaking busy packing Discus.
Only got the "box" ready for the filter system, Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be better, no shipping only a few pick up customers.

Wonderful,keep up the good work,I hope to be starting a new fish room in 6 months time.BTW how many tiers will this be?
Sweet,now for sure we will have to put you down for a "Road Trip"....Yea you have heard that before,but now that the docs have got my old self back on track you will be getting a visit..and my bud Gary has been bugging me to go down to visit you LOL.
Good luck with your project and great idea about the pairs..
Mench
Bananas, normally we go 2 tiers high because we've to catch from the tanks all the time. This rack (I make 2 of those) are for 20 gallon tanks for pairs. Those will be filter system at the bottom, and 3 tiers with tanks, the top row is a little high but we don't have to work in those every day.
Mench.................I believe you when I see you lol

Okay, today worked on the filter liner (was more work as I thought to get it in in the way I wanted, put the rack in position and put some tanks in to check the sizes of the pipes needed,

Hans, please hang onto those photos and notes - I'm trying to get the local fish club's people to invite you down here again (this year, we're at a different location - hopefully it has more warm water... none of that cold, brown stuff you had to fight with last time) and I'm sure people would be more than interested in seeing the progressive stages of setting up your fish room.
Looking forward to seeing more photos as you continue to make some of us jealous!

Walter, I try not to do that many shows with the set up anymore, the fights and stress we had (beside the fun) with water, transportation, loosing shipping days etc. I'm willing to get in my car/air plane to go to a show with my CD and do a talk, take some show Discus with me for in the show that's it.
I think the ACA in Atlanta will be one of the last big set ups (because I promised Ken to do it) so TALKS YES, Set~up no.
Moik, all holes in the tanks are 1 3/4" for a 1" bulk head, the 1" pipe goes directly in a 1 1/2" pipe down to the filter, those pipe are all vertical so water is going straight down.
I wouldn't work with a 3/4" one, my other set up (main room) has 65 gallon tanks, each tank has 2 x 1" over flow going over in a 2" horizontal pipe (so 10 x 1" on one 2" pipe) this works.
I think a 3/4" pipe doesn't handle the water flow if you put the water a little faster INTO your tank.
