Holey awesomeness! Congrats!!! Sadly the first 3 pics don't show up so we can't see the full stupendousness that is your new tank. Let me know if you need help with the photos

Holy frijoles

Dat ones gonna be a beast! How many gallons do you already have going there and how many total will it be after the big-un is done? Is the present system all plumbed together? Will they be plumbed together with the big system? Big tank gonna be a reef?

Hey Fishytime! The 4 tanks in the back are all plumbed together. The top two tanks are a 50 g and 65 g. There is a (i think) 40 gal refugium, and the sump. The front tank is a 65 with a ??g sump.

Not sure what I am going to do with the 350g. It will probably start as a fowlr, and then a reef as I won't be able to resist the temptation. I have always wanted to have larger fish (but not too large), and now I have the opportunity.

Btw, we split the garage in two 8 years ago. The front half is for the kids (bikes, freezer, junk....). The back half is my workshop/aquarium room. I wonder if I can list my fish as employees??!

LOL, another garage where cars don't live. I love it!

I can see the pics now, that is a monster

And your other tanks, they deserve some more photos too!

I'm intrigued by the racking, where does one get that type of stuff?

Woo! I'm deeply impressed and love the idea to accomodate all the sw tanks and equipments in the garage. I do hope my wife can give her consent so that my dream can come true
