- The old tank of Cedric was removed so that a new 200 x 80 x 80 cm tank can take its previous place. The goal is to install the sump into the basement. For this purpose, drillings have to be made. The gluing of the tank will be done by my buddy Rudi.

Tobias, your friend Rudi did an excellent job in glueing that tank. He was methodical and it shows by the glue joints.
He is a real pro.Incredible craftsmanship it's a joy watching him work.
Very cool. Would have been interesting to have a closer look on the gluing process.
Really awesome build. Looking forward to the rest of this series
Love the details you showed during the build as not many videos do, great tank!
Thank you so much Scott! :D
Sure would love to see more on the sump!
Yes gonna create a second video of that tank when everything is ready ;)
Much different content than usual, refreshing to say the least :)
Yess thank you!
Great insight into how a large tank is made!
That was pretty cool to watch. Always amazes me that a little silicone has enough strength to hold all that glass, let alone water together.
Thank you so much! Unbelievable isn't it? :D
What a fantastic video! Rudi makes it look so easy. Anyone that's taken a stab at siliconing a tank together can attest as to the art and skill needed to create functional and clean seams. Love the content my friend!
Thank you so much! :D
It is nice to see carftman at work that he loves to do keep it up 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for that!
Rudi is a master craftsman. Fantastic video, thank you.
Thank you so much and yes he is haha
Can’t wait to see the plumbing and filling 👍
Nice Pete! Thank you so much!
I have never seen a bulkhead installation like that but its the best one I have ever seen. But it would make transporting an assembled tank much more complex.
Than you so much! And yes transporting a tank like that is not that easy haha
Excellent work performed. I like it very much.
Thank you so much!
Always enjoy and learning how to.
Nice! Thank you so much!
great, excelent job
This is one masterclass😳😍 cant wait to see more!!
Thank you so much for your feedback Armin! :D
Wow! Great work! Love the channel! Cheers from San Diego, California! 😎
Awesome! Thank you so much and much love to California from the cold Germany! :D
Very interesting assamble 😃👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great 👍 video Tobias, not often do you see a tank being siliconed together, never mind drilling holes in the floor for to connect to the sump, amazing 😉 look 👀 forward to future updates. 👍🏴
Thank you so much John!! :D
Great job Tobi. 👏👏👏
Thank you so much!! :D
Great Content as usual Tobi!
Thank you so much!
Great video!
Thank you!
Love this channel 🐠
Great, thank you so much!
Did you use a brace? And was the construction seal the same silicon as the internal seal?
Super interessant mal zu sehen. Ich wünschte, ich würde mich sowas auch mal trauen.
Love you’re channel
Thank you so much!
Why is the bottom made of two parts? Did you add a small piece of glass at the bottom where the two sides meet?
I have the same question
@@raveensm same, never seen that before.
Me too! Around here the bottom is first and the sides sit on top.
@@powerfool650 Maybe true for smaller tanks but with large tanks like these that have thick glass sides the weight of the panes is too great to place them safely on top op the bottom.
@@martijnvanbeek4387 my 215 gallon was@ built at the factory sides on top of the bottom. It was six feet long, 2 feet wide, and 28 inches tall, 1/2 inch thick glass.
Wuaooooo primera vez que veo que en el armado de un acuario de 2 metros, la base está hecha en 2 partes, recién veo este video, espero ver la continuación y si colocaron tabletas de refuerzo en el contorno, saludos desde Lima Perú 🙋♀🙋♀
Man. I know he gettin paid, mad skills ✊🏽
Wonderful, it is a unique work. What is the thickness of the glass used?
great..!
Awesome video! Planning on building something similar myself (~8'). I get the concept of using 2 sections of glass for the floating base. But, I'd rather have a double thickness base myself, so I think I'll have a bottom layer in 2 sections and an upper layer in 3 sections. Hopefully, that'll help add a little flex/shock-absorption if it's required... I just wondered about what type of bracing you added afterwards? And did you brace the bottom of the tank too? Many Thanks!
Awesome video, how the top part is holding together? Is any frame is suppose to be used ?
You welcome my friend
Rudi is a boss, does he have a youtube channel where we can follow his amazing work💪🏾🙏🏽
Haha no he has not :D But if you want to I can create some more videos together with him ;)
very nice job!!!
got a question: why did he use 2 plates of glass for the bottom of the tank?
I want to do this !!
Do you know what brand is the silicone that he uses?
I don’t want to use the wrong one and make a big mess in the apartment 😂
I have a question, why did he use two panels for the bottom of the aquarium? Creating a seam in the center... is this considered a false bottom and then another sheet of glass the entire length of the aquarium is added on top? I know ELOS aquariums are double glazed/bottom sheets of glass.
I have to ask Rudi again but I think the tank has much more stability this way. For aquariums over a certain size, this is often done to prevent the weight from breaking the glass.
I have a 12 foot long aquarium with 1 inch thickness. It stood for yrs without any problems.
What is the brand name of the silicone being used
Hi do you know what type of silicone was used for this? ty
Isn't it worth making a V shaped jig (like a saw horse) to hold the glass sides.? When you place the glass in the V jig they should sit together in the bottom of the V without you holding them until they are set.glued. If you make the jig V more than 90degs you can shim up the glass plates until they are perfectly 90 degs. this seems a better technique esp if you are on your own.
what is the brand of silicone used ?
Hi bro. Very good job. I wanted to ask you what is the type of silicon sealant (black coloured one) you use for this type of big tanks. I ask this because i have a similar big tank in my home which is right now leaking from the bottom panels. Presently the tank can hold only half the tank. if i make it full, it starts to leak. The tank have a height of 4-5 feer approx. what you recommend. Thanks in advance.
Great video and nice work. Looking forward to the next video. How are the bottom panes of glass bridged together?
Thank you so much Senan! Rudi also glued the bottom panes together but without a bridge :)
What silicone you used here
I was surprised seeing the side glasses rest on the base and the side panels siliconed the from their sides. But I guess it makes sense since with the water pressure there're less shearing forces if the sides were attached on top of the bottom glass.
The bottom glass was installed after the rear glass and 1 end was installed. The sides and end glass where not sitting on the base, the base glass was installed inside the 4 glass walls
That was impressive to see the tank getting glued together. Does it get braced at all while curing? Looking forward to seeing more on this build.
Thank you do much and yes it will braced a little bit :)

exactly what im about to go through. sadly having to take down my current 3yo reef 150g dt and move half way across the world to setup a 500g dt. Its hard letting go all my prized coral and fish. damn hard.... :-(
What silicone was used?
This was great 👍 please give us a link to the exact silicone that Rudi uses
I have to ask him! :)
Did you ever find out the exact silicone used?
Whacker silicone
Very nice! Question, why 2 pieces for the base piece of glass?
This reduces the pressure on the pannel and maximises the flexibility :)
Why was the bottom glass in 2 pieces and why you do not put a double floor??
What was the material used for the base/stand?
What were name of bricks please? do you cement together?
👍
Hello Brother why bottom 2 glass joint...any reason?
Do you have the next video of this tank?
👍👍
👍👍
why the double bottom panels of glass?
I will try to make an aquarium 😉.
✌🏼🇧🇷
Why two bottom glass, how it will effect the strength then a single piece, please explain???
Because the tank has much more stability this way :) There is a danger that the glas breaks if the whole tank stands only on one glas piece :)
why this video is so small ? .... loved it
I did not want to bore you :D Thank you so much!
hi. i live in germany and get a tank from a friend that i need to take apart in order to transport it. how could i contact Rudi to see if he could help me reseal it. thx
Hi Rafael, du kannst Rudi über diese Mail Adresse erreichen: info@aquaristik-schneider.de
@@seafriendlyreef hab mich schon bei ihm gemeldet. Hab was organisiert
😱😱😱😍😍😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Takes big balls to do that with 0 clamps IMO.
Yes he has!
Is it a rimless tank?
No, thank you for that question! The glued the frame after the whole tank was glued.
My I know the type of silicon you use ?
Sir please explain sump filtration plumbing with video
Yes I can create a video like that no problem ;)
@@seafriendlyreef ❤️❤️❤️
Нужно вроде склеивать путем задувания герметика а вы прижали, это не есть хорошо
good job, BUT the stand is waist of space:(
Зря Шпака не позвали
You know when they make it look its really not going to be easy first try
ey ich kenne alle die im video rumrennen ausser dem Tobi ...
Da hast du nix verpasst 😆
250 Gallons /1000 Litres is not a lot of water 💦
Simple answer GET a professional to do it and you will not have sleepless nights
Hahahah, that's the best answer.
