So I picked myself up after 6 years of sobbing over the loss of my last tank, that Poseidon himself felt so threatened by, he sent Hurricane Ivan to destroy my house, releasing the inhabitants of my ocean into his. I do not even have any photos or video of the tank, so complete was his wrath.
A proud mortal is not easily deterred ...
I have not yet recieved the "main tank" from the manufacturer, it is being built by Precision Custom Aquariums in Canton, GA and about three weeks from final delivery.
Here is the location of the tank, you can see the "glow" from the nearby front window, that will soon be glowing outward:
Here are a few pics of the support system, which will be totally enveloped underneath the nearby stairwell:
See the wooden brace in the leftmost pic above? Here's the RO/DI system behind it, in the bathroom on the other side of the wall:
The main display tank will be lit by an IceCap 72" Reef Illuminations 3 x 250W Metal Halide fixture, here is the diagram of the "top" of the tank, with the metal halide bulbs and reflectors shown "in position":
Thanks to Woody of Precision Custom Aquariums who painstakingly worked with me on the design of the top holes and overflow.
Here's the "front to back" diagram I drew up a few days ago for Frankie:
Here's a closeup of this Dolphin pump, I live right next door to Dolphin HQ so I had the opportunity to meet with Tom and let him dissect a few impellers for me. He knows his stuff! one day I am going to go take some photos and post a writeup on these pumps, he does not cut corners, they are the best, most reliable pumps you can get for a saltwater aquarium!
Comment away!
