Reef Wholesale Epic Warehouse Build

[tparsons]

Back to the warehouse build.
The office and livestock area needed to get a fresh coat of paint.

First Step.... figuring out how to mount the Go Pro


Second Step.... figuring out how to operate the Go Pro


Apparently my first attempt at programming the Go Pro wasn't entirely successfull as this is the only picture I have from our painting the livestock area



We had to do something about those glue covered floors in the livestock and office areas from the previous tile/carpet.

Patrick's dream floor was an epoxy coating, we found a local contractor who was able to complete the project, grind it down and epoxy it in under 3 days

Setting up to grind the floors to remove the glue;


Starting in the Office area;


Onto the Livestock area;




What a difference the 1st pass made!

With the second pass...all the imperfections are starting to disapear!

Once the grinding was complete, the epoxy coating process was really quick.

First they had to fill all the cracks,



The first layer


The second layer - these guys look like they are having a great time


And the final coat


Ready for the tanks to start coming in

Now this is where "Operation Move An Ocean" comes into full swing

Looking for an update of epiq proportions

Sorry everyone, you missed us just as we were getting on the plane for Interzoo....we are up and running, only closed for one full day during the move
Thank goodness for Red Bull and Coffee, good family, friends and amazing staff who helped us pull together and complete "Operation Move an Ocean" (all the water and livestock side) in 7 days!

Check out the bright, clean, dry goods area;



Our first international order to land when we got keys to the new shop was fauna.
Check out our first two racks to go in, and the Fauna on the shelf;



As we only had two racks in and some product on the ground, until the next day, but all stock is up on the shelves now.

How about a full room shot when we started moving the tanks over for some size reference;

Those beds in the back right hand corner are 96"Lx42"Wx12"H
