New build 118gallon
 

So My wife and I have been reef keeping for 10 months now and have fallen in love with the hobby. We started with a small 34gallon biocube that I bought off cl. Then upgraded to a 60gallon. We still find ourselves strapped for space with the fish we want and coral. So We decided to contact concept and have a custom 118gallon built. We went with a shallow long reef 60x24x19 with polished edges, eurobraced and center internal overflo. Also having a custom stand and sump built for the tank. Our equipment we will be using is jaebo 9000 return pump. Vertex 150 slimmer, and the gyre 230 for flo. Will purchase additional one at a later date, and will just use a hydor from my 60gallon when I transfer everything over. Tank should be arriving within the next few days. Look forward to sharing this build and hope u all can give us advice as we move forward

Exciting! Looking forward to seeing the setup progression.

Thanks, exciting times. I just worry about my floor after seeing how heavy the sump is. Tank itself is 118gallons,https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d96ac48a86.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f6c6b282f2.jpg

If your joists are perpendicular to the tank, it will be fine.

Your joists should be able to hold the weight no problem. The tank is long enough to run across multiple joists. Looks nice and shiny :biggrin:

I figured it would. Just surprised that the sump wieghs as much as the tank lol. Can't wait to get it wet and transfer everything over from my other tank. Still lots of work to do though

Nice new tank can you please hurry up with build I like reading them maybe taking a few days off work would help 🙊

to be fair, if your hardwood was installed correctly and you are placing the tank there, then your tank will run parallel with the joists in your house :)

Regardless, it will hold just fine.
