Nice! Is it going to be glass or acrylic?

captivereefs · 12-08-2004, 03:16 PM

Glass. The front will be low iron clear glass.

They are down south some where. My tank with pick up charge is $1275.

Gina · 12-08-2004, 05:55 PM

Darin,
Look at the dimensions you posted! What is the height?
Can't wait to see it when it arrives!

mps9506 · 12-08-2004, 05:55 PM

I want to say they are Atl. GA.
You can schedule tank pick up if they are attending a show near you however.

Darren, can't wait to see pic of the tank build up. Good to see a big tnak being build that isn't planned to be an all out SPS tank with 30 gigawatts of lights and enough flow to power the hoover dam in it

Whoops edited it is 25".

captivereefs · 12-08-2004, 05:58 PM

SPS just do not do it for me. I am going to take my time stocking this with only the coolest ricordia,mushrooms and zoanthids i find as well as the standard LPS/Softie livestock! I did just buy a yellow sinularia for this tank that i am holding in my 26. Now i jusat have to get a green one!

TDEVIL · 12-08-2004, 07:52 PM

sounds like you have been planning this for a while

are you going to show the wall from start to finish?
i like to see how people brace and the other properations for an inwall tank (for my future lol )

I am going sunday to pick up the tank!!!! I will try and snap some pictures! I hired a moving company to take it down my steps into my basement for me!!! Only cost $200 to have moved; a little steep but worth it as far as my back is concerned!

Woodstock · 12-16-2004, 08:04 AM

How exciting!! Good idea getting a moving crew; a healthy back is priceless!!

Icebox · 12-16-2004, 09:39 AM

Darin, I am excited for you... Keep us posted with Pictures.. I can not wait to see how it progresses.

Wise idea on the moving crew.

I would have never thought of that.

Craig Manoukian · 12-16-2004, 10:06 AM

Very cool Darin. What did you finally decide as far as fish?

captivereefs · 12-16-2004, 01:22 PM

I think i am gonna just do freshwater with some Guppies and goldfish! I just got my bubbling treasure chest!!!

Seriously though i am not sure yet. big school of chromis and maybe anthias for sure. The mandarin is a go as well. Not sure on tangs though. THe wife likes hippo tangs so one of those for sure!
