Default Canada Corals warehouse build thread

Ever since we moved into the new warehouse, I haven't had time to hit the Forums as much as I would like so I decided to start a build thread to document our progress and keep you guys updated.


Here is a picture of the warehouse:




We took delivery of our glass yesterday. That is 4 tanks and 2 sumps. We are building two systems (SPS and LPS) that measure 16ft x 4ft. The tanks measure 96x48x14.




We will be building our stands out of Bosch 90x90H t-slot extruded aluminum. It's total overkill but we got a killer deal on it so why not.




This is a sketchup of how we plan to build our stands:




This is our water changing station. I posted this pic before but I forget where.




We are still waiting for some hardware from Bosch so I cant get started on building the stands until I get those parts. I was told it would be another 3-4 weeks.

I will post more pics as things progress.

Yeah for sure. If we paid retail for it, we would be bankrupt.

How does the Bosch stuff compare to 80/20? Glad you got a sweet deal on it

Are you planning on glueing the glass together yourself and if so can you show how you did it. What is the glass thinkness of the glass you bought

Bosch offers many different fittings so the options are only limited by your imagination.

Bosch designed this stuff for more industrial applications.

You can have a look at all the options here:

Yep. We will be building the tanks ourselves.

I will certainly document the silicone process.

We picked up one of these bad boys yesterday.

It's a DRI-EAZ LGR 2800i low-grain refrigerant commercial dehumidifier.

They are primarily used for flood damage so wont have any problems keeping the humidity low in our facility.

It's socking how often humidity is ignored by fish stores.
