Talking NEW Tank Build !!!

I am pleased to announce the new tank build can now finally start. Thanks to Dave at Concepts for the amazing tank and stand, both are the best quality I have ever seen! The tank having a one piece Euro Brace and 100% star fire with unique total clear silicon.

The tank is 36x32x24 with external overflow. The sump will be in the basement about 8 feet below the tank.

The system will run everything we distribute one way or another but also form the basis for all future marketing photos for GHL equipment, for example the Mitras. The tank will run just one single silver Mitras HV.

Here are some photos I took at 1.45am this morning after getting off a plane back from Turks and Caicos getting in the door at 1.30am!! Something was bugging me! Did I measure our door gap right? will the stand fit? 30 minutes in the garage with a jenny bar and a tape measure confirmed my thoughts. Yep I measure wrong the stand wont fit, so it has to go through the patio doors, so now I have to snow blow the side of the house and around the swimming pool and get some lads over to get the stand through the rear patio doors. But before that the stand is off to a local cabinet makers to have a little mod done to it I did not get done during manufacture.

This will be a painstaking slow build, so next update will be a while

looks really nice! my unit came with a default setting that was very much white with no red hue. i'm surprised they don't all come preconfigured the same? or maybe your camera is really off.

Your guests sitting on the couch right next to the tank are going to need the shades that came in the box for sure! Is it going to remain that high?

For now yes this is a temporary solution. There is a slight wave to the backing black acrylic, due to this the MP40's resonate real bad because of this, Ecotech and I are desperately trying to find a solution.

If put on the side glass of course they are perfect but I cant mount the pumps there.

Advise corner

My aim is to avoid as many hitch hikers as possible in the system, hence the reason for the first time ever I decided to use dry rock (Marco) but of course its virgin with not a single critter in sight!

Other than live rock (which defeats the purpose) are their critters on the market foe this?

how do you know what you are getting? Surely this is no different than seeding with live rock?

Sorry should clarify.

I got stomella snails and brittles from other people. As for seeding the rock it'll be whatever you introduce through live stock

I added a piece of live rock and ended up with army of collinista snails. Though good hitchhiker they .... Like rabbits
