Juiceman Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Maybe you can ask glassholes if they can make a custom overflow to offset the difference?That's exactly what I did. They replied on Sunday that they can make me custom sized overflows to make up for the height difference.Fish Gallery is making it right by giving a refund to me in the amount of the cost of the overflows.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome, always good to see a LFS make things right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BobcatReefer Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Not to derail the thread, but is that on the LFS or the tank builder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure but, I think they can get the credit to the store from AGE but it's easier on their end to give it to me and them get it from them.Since I paid Fish Gallery and not AGE directly.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BobcatReefer Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Good on Fish Gallery though! I would be apoplectic if that happened to me, especially after sending the overflow to them. Hopefully this is a lesson to me that losing my $#1! is not the way to go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juiceman Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 We're fully running...!I've got about 3/8 of an inch to raise with the new overflows so that the water level isn't below the trim.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 how long are the overflow "teeth" and how much is above water? have you tried clamping some plastic there, about 1/2" higher than the bottom of the exiting "teeth bottoms?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BobcatReefer Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Now THAT is pretty cool. I imagine the LAST thing I need is an app that lets me watch my tank ALL the time! haha! Question: Is the bracing in the middle done like that* for any specific reason? *that = angle iron (for lack of better description) w/ the spine pointed up.

Isaac Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 when i made his initial bracket, i didnt butt the pieces together, because that would be a single weld holding outward pressure. by overlapping it, you essentially have 4-lines of welding, which increases its strength. Now on his new tank, they used angle iron, instead of flat pieces. this alone adds more rigidity and strength, which allows for less cross supports (its essentially 2 in one). did that answer the question, i got got on a small related tangent. EDIT: also on his old tank, we added an extra pair, because we just were not sure about the re-seal, and it wasnt based on original specs. since this is a new tank from factory, they have the design down properly. we went overkill on the first brace... because underkill coulda sucked) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
