Wow! Definitely following your progress. I'd like to do something like this in the future. What equipment will you be running on this tank?

Most of the stuff I trade coral for ! I’m running 6 gen4 pros , 8 mp40s , bubble 250 external , L1 for a return and a M1 for all my reactors ! Also running a geosreef calcium reactor 818 and 2 finnex 800 heaters ! That’s all I can remember that I’m running right now !

Very nice! Love the organization on the wiring - tidy but accessible. What is that 7' beam made of?

 

[Steve1310]

If u mean the beams in the first wall I tore out it’s is two 9 ft LVL beams for the support of the main wall ! I had to put those in !

 

[Chrisfish]

Looks awesome :)

 

[Poacher]

Finally started my new build after moving !

That's awesome but I hope you shored up the floor joist it's about 3400 pounds a ton 1/2 just in water. I wanted to do the same thing just not brave enough to do it yet.

I meant the beam side to side on the stand itself. Wonderfully long opening for access under there.

 

[jorahx]

this is looking amazing! i want to do it one day!

 

[Steve1310]

Yeh I’ve got the tank sitting on a main beam under the house that I screwed two 6inch LVL beams on each side of the 6X6 main support beam that is sitting on the main footer ! I also put a 6X6 floor joist up against the existing floor joist the length of the room and put another floor joist between the sets of floor joist ! So pretty much I can put another 2 story house on that room !

 

[Steve1310]

Yeh the stand is doubled up 6X6s sitting on 6X6s !

 

[Steve1310]

 

[Steve1310]

And after I put my sump under the stand I’ll be puttin two 6X6s strait up and down in the middle of the side of the stand that’s open right now !
