That is pretty huge.

I would highly recommend a Heat Recovery Ventilator. Carrier makes a good commercial unit.
It is important to cycle air through your warehouse.

I agree.

Right now we are opening the garage door to let in some fresh air but eventually we will need to get something that can exchange our air automatically.

Got some progress done on the dry goods wall. It was challenging to say the least to find a way to cover the electrical boxes while at the same time being able to access them. The slat-wall board is on a hinge.

We also painted a blue border around the entire warehouse to integrate our logo color.

We finally got our jig that was special ordered from Germany so we got started on building the stands.

It took us all weekend to build this 1st system and we still haven't done the light rail yet.

To say this is overbuilt, is an understatement.

So all the stress looks to be shear stress on those bolts. The vertical parts themselves do not directly bear any weight?

The vertical posts will bear some weight on the ends.

These connectors are rated to hold 1,124 lbs per set (2,248 lbs total per corner) so I am not worried at all. The tank will only be 2,500lb filled with water and that weight is distributed evenly. The connectors you see in that picture are also underneath the beam so its 8 connectors per corner.

You could drive a truck on this frame without any drama.

We've got some interesting things coming.

We are planning to have touch screens for each system so that our customers can shut-off the powerheads to look at the corals top-down. They will also be able to turn the lights off so that its only actinic. That way they can see what the corals look like @ dusk/dawn.
