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.

No, we stopped.
It's not because the system does not work, its because we are a retail store and our lights (metal halides) must be on for 9hrs daily. It's just too much light and when you pair that with zeovit, the corals get too pale.
We recently tried to feed more to combat the long photoperiod but that failed miserably. Lots of SPS browned out. Can't trick nature I guess. lol
We decided to reduce the MH photo period. If customers want us to turn them on, we can for short periods of time. |

I think you should start selling tickets and open up as an aquarium. I would spend hours in this place if you were over this way.

Don't know what the LFS look like out west, but CC's retail space is a breath of fresh air around here in Toronto. All they need now is an expresso machine in the lounge up front and game over |
