Awesome tank and build!

Dude we have a kindred spirit! Love to see this monster tank taking shape for you. Can you tell us what its dimensions are? It looks quite deep and so I imagine the entire front panel is braced by wood framing?

Lots of progress and quite a few changes

Seeing the Home Depot bucket really shows you how big that thing is. Amazing!

 

[Smarkow]

Incredible tank and set up! I'm not sure which I'd rather have, the tank or your disposable income lol.

It’s 48” deep. It’s all one piece but the front is lightly framed in

That's one HUGE tank!!! And it's awesome!

I would be afraid in my house. I have two kids under 3yr old, I would be cringing every time they go ner the bottom half of tank.

Yeah my youngest is constantly smacking the front scaring the fish and trying to get his trex to eat them.

New arrivals. The whole system is being medicated and quarantined for 8 weeks. Then another 4-6 weeks of carbon and what not and I’ll start Testing for copper and adding the corals.

How are you going to scrape it? I have a 36" tall with 1.25" and the magnetic scraper works but it separates and falls to the sand bed if I get too aggressive. I don't know of any mag scraper that works on 1.5". Have you found one? Or are you just going to go swimming a couple times a week?

 

[najer]

Just wow, nicely done.

 

[Skullring]

Very impressive. Well done.
