LOL@Cain! The weekly 10% water change is a volume of my whole 60 gallons tank!
Hope the cliche: "guys with big cars/tanks and all that... does not applies here ;-)
Honestly so: I am just jealous!

The stand and hood are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!
You will be able to charge admission when you have it fully stocked!

 

[maeistero]

congrats!!!
what kind of support system do you have under the floor?

Frank where are you located?

 

[frank2005]

yeah if anyone is ever in the south jersey area and would like to come over and see it i wouldnt mind...and right now i think im running cost wise about 25,000 dollars for the tank, stand, canopy, all the components, not sure how many bags but enough to have a 5-7 inch sand bed, and 1000 lbs of live rock...i have a feeling im going to need more live rock and that price is without any live stock so by the time this is done i can probably look towards spending a total of about 50,000 dollars....and this is a small tank considering what im looking at getting in about 10-15 years...im moving and in the house im building im going to put at least a 1000+ tank and a couple 500+ tanks....

 

[frank2005]

and yes that is glass you are correct...it weighed i think it was 1000 lbs alone that was a

[hr]
to get into the house....

 

[frank2005]

i have a concrete slab..because i had just finished the 500 sq foot family room addition where the tank is located about 4 months ago

 

[frank2005]

and im always looking for friends...so anyone close to me thats into the saltwater hobby that would like to talk just give me your screen name and or email address...

 

[oreo12]

I think a tank that big would need to be on a salb or basment. could you amagain all that water on the floor

 

[the_fish]

man i have some family up in jersey, his name is kelly you might know him, he is big into tanks. what kind of livestock are you looking at.

 

[the_fish]

oh and what do you do if you dont mind me asking.

 

[frank2005]

im a corporate controller for a major family of companies dealing with construction...and no i dont think i know him...as for livestock im not sure i guess i just want to get the tank cycled first...i know tangs, mandarins because those are my favorite and i want to be able to keep every type of coral thats why i bought the best of everything if i see something i want to be able to get it and not worry about whether the lighting is right or whatnot....i dont want to be limited in what im able to keep

 

[the_fish]

Man how do i get your job. and on top of that it sounds fun.

 

[frank2005]

the dimensions of the tank are also 10' long x 3' deep x 2' 1" tall

 

[cain420]
