my 435 gallon tank in wall see through upgrade

[bullitr]

i have small time to demolish the plywood and dry wall
still a long way to go!i will take a week off from work to transfer and framing the new tank

 

[smoothie]

Can't wait for the build!
The tank in the video link is nice, but what a pruning nightmare!
I guess they will constantly have frags to pay for salt though. Enough to cover a big bucket of seachem salinity even

I've been follow up with your 300 gal and so lucky that I can view your 300 in person. Now the 435 gal, wow, I am sure it will be a knockout. Keep up the good work and good luck man.

 

[fishonly350g]

is your tank acrylic or glass?

 

[bullitr]

its acrylic again because of the size, dimension and my location glass will not be an option.
thanks

Really like the big build. I wish I had a wall to put a tank in.

 

[bullitr]

[bullitr]

Sorry i got busy today

on top or atleast a hummer

Bullitr. Fun looking project! Out of curiosity I noticed the osb plywood in one picture on the wall. Typically only shear walls or load bearing walls have plywood sheathing. Did you consider the structure of the existing wall before your new hole?

 

[bullitr]

I restructure and reinforce the wall using 4x 6 pressure treated lumber . Thanks
nice eyes!

 

[bullitr]

mixing 250 gallon of fresh saltwater and i will link it to the main display tank.

Looking good, looking good. You know someone on here is going to bash you about using treated lumber in your house. Stand looks good to me!
