Isla Escondido - invincible569's Rimless 300g
 

What has invincible569 been up to? I have been updating my BLOG for several months now, Isla Escondido. It's very detailed on what I have been through and all my plans for this beautiful tank. As of now, I am going to release the web URL, but the BLOG will still be closed until I feel its ready. I will definitely let everyone know when it has opened.

For now, my tank has finally made it home!! The tank was ordered through Aquarium Environments. Everyone knows of AE by their signature PVC bottom.

The tank Specs:
72x40x24=300g
Starphire - 3 viewable sides
Rimless .75 glass thickness

Im going to write a detailed story on how this tank got here like MakoJ did with his. Everyone enjoys a little story line since it makes you feel like you are there. :)

My goal is to have a powerheadless, unique open aquascape, with a mixed reef theme. This will come after a while as I have all the rocks ready and start on the plumbing.

I want to thank naka and Jaime for starting me on this new journey.

Sit back and enjoy the ride with me! Here is a sample pic of what Im about to present to you. I have TONS of pics.

I cannot WAIT to see what aquascape you come up with!

Looks EXCELLENT! I cannot wait to see the progress on this one.

The rimless tanks are great looking!

Sweet!!! I can actually follow this thread from the beginning. I really like those dimensions they are exactly when i want from the same company. Great minds think alike. If you dont mind sharing could you PM me what you paid for the tank and stand.

I want to say that all of this comical. These guys did not really say or think any of this. The AE guys were very professional in moving my tank in.

I'd LOVE to know what silicone they are using in there. Its beautiful, but I'd be sketched out about it blowing. Any links to ease my mind?:)
Cant wait to see your build! Thanks for sharing.

OMG, beautiful tank Edward. Make me want to upgrade again :)

the tank already looks nice when it's empty. Can't wait to see when it's filled up! the comics was hillarious:)

Awesome looking tank. Updates please. :)

WOW, Looks fantastic Edward. Looking forward to following the build of this tank. Excited to see how the flow is configured. Good luck.

Chad

:beer: That's half the battle. Think they'll come to CA and install mine too? Outstanding Edward, looking forward to following your build and seeing the :fish1: in their new home. Congrats buddy.

Marshal

Thanks Everyone!

cward, those were the guys.

Marshall, Im sure you can have them hand deliver it to you. :)

I will move on to plumbing the tank soon. I have to find some fittings and also find some sched 80 1.5" piping (not flex). I also need to do some leak testing.

I dont know if you guys notice, but right behind this new tank was where my 100g in wall was. How easy it was to have someone come out and close off the hole. It feels like it was never there.

This is gonna be a great tank & thread, Good luck with the build.

Invince, Do you know the glass thickness of your tank in millimeters?

.75" equas 19.0499 mm

awesome looking tank, and great photos, taco bell, lol!

that's some service, they made getting the tank set up in place so easy.

I can't wait to see the plumbing, all those holes on the bottom have me curious :)

Ed, wow awesome looking tank, good to see the stand matched up perfectly....can't wait to see the finished tank results.
