180 build in garage with homemade filter system

[ZX10R]

Impressive set up, the full system looks classy together. I look forward to seeing how your filter system works in the long run, and how you feel about the drip system. Great looking ray!! I'd love to have one myself, but I'm not sure where to get one and the laws in CA for them. Just wondering, how high did you build your stand? I just built mine at 34" for my new 110gal... and now thinking I want it at 36 but then again no one likes a wet arm pit..

I built my stand 38" tall I don't like bending over to see what is in the tank I like things more eye level.

Been gone from this forum for a while... your DIY is jaw dropping, love the filtering system, best of luck!

So far it has been working good but long term will be the test. The only complaint I have about the filter system is I am blowing so much air into the barrel to keep the K1 moving that it is echoing in the barrel making it a little loud. The system is fully inclosed but you can still hear it humming.

Sean, love your filtration setup. I'll have to take a closer look at it and see how I could benefit from something like it. Awesome job.. BTW, that is one cool ray.

I will have to get some pics up I am getting ready to add some LED lights to the tank. So far everything seems to be running great no problems yet.

Looks awesome man, only thing.. you should have cut out that wall and made it viewable from inside with filtration outside that would have been the ticket!! Btw, beautiful ray you have there

Thanks Zach,

Trust me I thought the same thing but don't think the wife would have gone for it. You mean was a beautiful ray she jumped out on me last week I found her dead on the floor in my garage. I have two more rays in there also I will have to post pics of them.

Ah, you switched defaults... I remember that just got mixed up. At least you still have the other two. Systems look killer though, very good stuff.

I am surprised how good they look. I can't wait for my pearl to get bigger and start to.color up more.

Thank Tara
