Nice isometric sketch!

Ug...Thanks! Not perfect by any means, but it gives you the idea hopefully!

do you think something that ornate takes away from the contents of the tank?

[Dez]

are those upper 2 additions refugiums?

No, their going to just be open glass shelves I guess.

All equipment will be underneth-total space of 10'. Viewed all 4 sides.

Too ornate, maybe. But I am hoping the 330 gal. reef in time may grab your eye quicker. I know Jim Barry's tank stands out super compared to the stand.

Looking forward to getting started though. I have already started cutting all the real stone for the base.

so is this a DIY project or somthing your company is making for sale?

It's a project for us; to be our new reef.

Very Nice :cool:

Is it meant for a home or for a business? Way to much I think. Is the focus the tank or the large object its perched in...

[Majestic_Aquariums]

It will be for our home, but I would like it large enough to potentially market commercial in the future when we move.

It will be set up as a room divider between living room, and dining room.

With a 84" tank, and having all the gear down below, I would like it 11' long. With that length, the 8' height is pretty much needed to help balance the look out.

We are looking forward to it :cool:

Looks COOL....... :cool:

Would love to plumb that baby.......
Let me know what your plans are before you build the tank.........

That tank needs a kick ass system me thinks......... :razz:

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

That will look impressive when its set up.

However, I was in the market for a large tank recently & I chose not to buy one system because of the massiveness of the stand & everything. The stand was 11' long, 32" tall & 33" wide for a 8' tank 260g. Lots of room for the fish but the entire system would have been too massive to transport. It would also need a very large house to not look out of place.

BTW, this stand had a marble top & marble sink on the end for doing water changes.

Good luck.

anthony that tank would have been bigger than your apartment :razz:

[Majestic_Aquariums]

Don't worry Medican, I will definately be contacting you for help! :biggrin:

It will be a royal pain to transport some day for sure! Lotsa trips! :razz:

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Willow,

Yeah, my doorway is only 28" wide so it would never have fit.

MA,

I wonder how much the stand & top will weigh, even without the tank. Moving it will be a b***h, so I hope you will have lots of help :biggrin:

i have stomach cancer that day.

[Majestic_Aquariums]

Thinking 1500 lbs. not inc. tank, sump, mechanical, or water.

It will be in 10 pieces-largest (heaviest) will be the columns-hoping to keep them under 400 lbs. each.

Hey there! Great stuff! I love to see other people's ideas... Of course keep us posted as you develop this monster... I would check the floor by driving the family SUV into the dining room, but I'm sure you'll have that figured out.
