Default 400 Gallon Coral Flat Project

Thought I would start a small tank journal for a new coral flat and equipment room.

This post is for pleasure viewing; as such I hope you enjoy a few photos here and there.

Tank is 96x48x20 Roughly 400gallons, sump is 180 Rubbermaid ToughTub, skimmer will be EV-2000 with Iwaki 100RTL.

Tank arrived today, here are some shots of the tank, and tomorrow I will take some photos of the new room it's going into.

Enjoy.







Crate was a little smashed because the shipping company first left it at a local building supply centre mistakenly; they kind of crushed the crate with their forklift.

It looks to be in good shape after removing the top and inspecting the glass, I am overall super happy and a little excited to move forward with the project.

Other specs to follow

That tank looks identical to the one that has been sitting at Concept Aquatics for the past month or so...

Same one?

Look forward to seeing this.

Cool! I saw this sitting at Concept. The scale of this tank is something else. I'm really looking forward to seeing how you rig everything up.

I love the centre island overflow. My next tank is definately getting one.

I could not be more happy with the service, quality and craftsmanship that Dave pours into his products at Concept Aquatics I'm sold on his work, and will be a customer for life.
