Hi there,

Here I go, I've been reading alot and put in a few posts. I have had large freshwater tanks all my life, but now it's time to step up to the dream, SW.

Which will be going very slow and having alot of patience.
We are building a new constructin home, with a 72" x 24 x 30 acylic tank as a room divider between the lv rm & dining rm. This week has been hecktic with the building of the stand, by a non fish person.

Hi again I thought I was ready to start and now I can't get the pics to get added. I have a few and will keep working on it. FYI

 

[nbzak]

I do believe I did it..... so here is my wrapped tank.

 

[nbzak]

It is going to be a closed loop with an overflow at the wall end.

wow..you are so fortunate to have a room dividing tank...It's like 2 tanks for the space of one..seeing it from both sides is going to be awesome! I have a 75 gal and it's against the wall.....I love my tank! BUT I would definitely rather have one that can be viewed from both sides! I'll look forward to watching your tank progress!
Hope things go well for you! Happy Reefing!

This is the canopy going up, the person in the pic is not me.

Oh boy, that is going to be SWEET!!! Gives me some ideas for when we build our house. My husband already knows a larger tank is a must and something to consider during the contruction. I need to show him these pics. Keep them coming!!!!

 

[tferrante]

Now that I have seen the wall construction.....I am beyond jealous....that tank is going to look awesome!

Hello from AZ, Nancy. I'm jealous. Looks great!

 

[kjr_trig]

Looks like a great project. Just curious, did you get the tank from Tenecor in Phoenix?

 

[nbzak]

I had gotten the tank from Southwest Seas in Phoenix/North North Phoenix.

 

[triga22]

This is awsome! Nice tank setup

 

[nbzak]

Still waiting for the Electrician to come out. Anyone have any opinions. I'm trying not to forget anything. I was told to keep the outlets high. Will 2 doubles on top and 2 four plexes on the bottom be good? I will need all the help I can get down the road.

 

[nbzak]

Sorry, about the duplicate pics. I'll try to remove it.

 

[nbzak]

Stand is finally level and done to this point.

The tank was finally put into place. Back view and the frt at an angle.
