Thanks man.

It looks real good Rich. Opening to the left to allow for a mag cleaner is the way to go, but as I looked at your picture, I'm wondering if you are going to be able to squeeze a mag cleaner by the molding. It might just be the angle of the picture

Good idea. Hadn't thought about that.

I considered that early on and made the decision to leave some room between the rock and tank wall to allow a scraper. The trade off of allowing a tall scum met access able from the top won out over a mag float. LOL

Hey Rich, you going to be able to get the bulkhead nuts on? The cutout looks tight.

 

[Jaycen B.]

O and nice job.

 

[rdnelson]

That is one of the modifications I will make before paint. I agree they look tight.

Oh, and thanks.

[rdnelson]

Thanks Kris. I appreciate it.

On top of that, the Apex and pump controllers will mount on the kid. Lift it up and it is all at your finger tips. At least that is the plan.

I think that is the access door for the tap, the Icehouse Keg tap. We'll see the whole setup in the next Icehouse commercial.

Looks great! Are you planning on keeping the dual overflows as it sits right now? I didn't read everything so you may have already said something about that.

 

[crew]

This looks great. I love the step by step on the stand. I'm currently building my own 120g stand. Mind if I send some questions your way?

Is that your new Icehouse dispenser? I'm not sure how that's gonna get the stand painted, but I'm along for the ride anyway!
