New 300 gal tank setup
I have been asked to show pics of my recent setup.
It all started two years ago when we decided to do some home renos. I thought it would be great to build a new SW tank into our main staircase (my wife thought I was joking!). I wanted the tank to have the same curve as our staircase. I looked into a custom acrylic tank from someplace in Vancouver. They quoted me $30 000 to build the tank (sump included - you would hope to God). My wife was even less impressed now! I decided to go with a 7/8" starphire glass tank from AI. They contracted it out to a place in Calgary which took a "year" to make as they kept breaking the glass trying to bend it. Well it finally arrived July 05. It took my contractor 4 months to finally get it built it into the staircase. Finally, the tank has been up and running since late Dec 05. I am glad to say my wife even enjoys it and doesn't mind my spending $$ on corals/fish. The tank is sort of triangular with dims 45"x54"x55"(inward bowed side along staircase)x48"high. Enjoy  Tank arrived July 05  Building stand and reinforcing floor in basement  Tank in place  Tank in place  Completed tank    Tanks, Shane

If you're interested, if you don't have your own wedspace that you can use (i.e Shaw Telus) you can upload the pics to Canreef's photoboard repository.. Just a thought..

Guess the bandwidth blockade has been lifted as I see the pics now too.
Incredible idea! And very well implemented. That's awesome.
