Default The biggest tank to date

Hey all, I just wanted to share with you guys on a major project we just started for one of our good clients.

Not even sure how we got to this point but a lot off work has been put into it!

the stand before we started



then the heavy lifting started




that was that for the bottom glass

putting the body of the the tank want way easier






now just waiting on the welders to fabricate the upper braces and than his sumps and his underneath reef tank can be place and plumbed in

i will update with more pictures when we get back from a build out in vancouver next week, can wait until this beast is done lol


Thanks Dave

Ok that is a mother of a tank be interesting to see 3 things how you are going to move that beast, how many sumps it has and what it will look like setup.

BTW how thick is the glass on the bottom and sides

Oh I'm sure it'll be fine, probably. Maybe.
