Hahaha, I too creeped on your tank while it was at Concept. I thought it would make an excellent top down shallow tank and clearly it will.

This is going to be a great build.

I kept envisioning how amazing it would look as the focal point of my basement. It would take a backhoe and a great big hole in my foundation to get it in, though. :lol:

I could have swore this tank was only 16" tall?

Wow, it's sure to be impressive when done.

Just so I don't feel left out I feel compelled to say I looked at your tank too. I think a lot of people have been waiting for this thread to start, haha.

Should be an awesome setup. I can't wait to see this one progress!

Heavens yes; I was in such a hurry last night that I mucked up.
You are correct, it's 16 tall.

Sorry :-)

Just putting a coat of primer on the ceiling right now; taking a quick water break while thinking about lighting...

Anyone thinking how many Ai-Sols should be enough? I was guessing around six...

Here are some shots of the room I am getting ready, I got new drywall on the ceiling, did some mudding a few days ago and finished sanding it this morning.

Primer is on the ceiling, now tomorrow I will paint the final colour ( it's a little darker than the primer; and the floor will be painted black.

Looked at one of these ductless Air conditioning units today, I was thinking it would be necessary in the summer, and pretty much year round for keeping the humidity down, found a great deal on this model.

Ordered the main pump today, Reeflo Dart Gold 3600 series, and Vertex Puratek Deluxe 200gpd RO/DI and some random plumbing supplies.

Planning on a couple MP40's for flow.... still unsure if this will be enough.

Awesome.....is this going to like a frag tank or a display?

Going to be a frag tank :wink:
