After several months of planning, research and encouragement from friends, (and talking my wife into it) today I started my aquarium build.
This will take a while, my wife has put me on a budget so be patient. Plus, I'm still working out some of the details.
Tank: Exterior Dimensions 129" x 60" x 40"
Tank: Interior Dimensions 120" x 52" x 40"
Approx. Volume: 1080 Gallons
Glass: 114" x 36" Starphire
Viewable Window: 108" x 30"
Tank will be constructed like stud walls in a house. It will be 2" x 4" framed with 2 laminated layers of plywood. Inside will be fiberglassed and epoxy painted.
Pictures will be posted throughout the build. Comments and recommendations are welcome. I want us to get through this together
Additional plans (subject to change)
3000 lbs of sand
2000+ lbs of live rock
Lighting, pumps, filtration, sump, skimmer, etc.... I have some ideas on, but will consider all recommendations and opinions here before I make final decisions.
