Tank progress

[ac]

Here are a couple of pictures on the progress of my 320 gallon shark tank. I still need to finish the doors on the stand and the lid for the canopy.

are those switches or outlets in the left side on the stand? or something else?

Jawz,
I put in switched outlets so I could turn pumps on and off individually for maintenance. I've got several other tanks so I'm trying to put all of my lessons learned from those into this one.

Looks good! What are the measurements? what sharks do you plan on putting in there?

krUnk,
The tank is 84X36X24 (LXWXH). I have a baby Port Jackson that will go in it. I'm thining about maybe a bamboo or catshark of some kind. I would like to get different than the common bamboo, but we'll see.

Nice slection of sharks. What equipment do you plan on using? i noticed the CR3000.

I've got a euroreef 8-3 skimmer and I'm also putting a UV sterilizer on.

Hey AC....
Lookin good....a little suggestion....you may want
to consider putting a rubber backed carpet mat under
the wet/dry, this will cut down dramatically on
noise and vibration from the pumps, etc...even placing the
mat on the entire bottom of the stand, thats what I did....
and if by some chance you get water splash, it will
protect the stand....
Good luck and keep us updated...
Regards....

Did you make that tank yourself out of acrylic? If so and you don't mind what did the acrylic cost you? I also would like to talk to you about your switch system. I am in the process of planning to build about a 360 gal tank 8'x3'x2' for a shark tank.
