I hope you have a lot of help moving those in, I'm sure they are heavy.

They made it safely in the room next to the tank build!! Whew!!

We used a shoulder dolly moving strap and made light work of it! Those things are amazing!!

I was thinking about your continued lighting considerations. Have you thought of contacting different manufacturers to see if one of them would sponsor this immense build? I was wondering if one of them would like their name on something this big.

Yeah like, "hey everyone! The mega tank is done! Look how this awesome lighting system from "so and so" has done such a perfect job of bringing this whole reef together. I couldn't imagine a better lighting solution!" BANG! FREE LIGHTS!
