joporeefpro's 1000 gallon TWV build

[joporeefpro]

Bare with me guys this is my first time on a forum... but I have been asked to create a tank build thread for my 1000 gallon TWV tank in my home. the Dimensions are 96 x 42 x 36" running 10 gen 1 radions. There is a 185 gallon custom glass refugium and a custom mrc sump in the basement running a hammerhead pump, with a live backup plumbed in.

Wow, so amazing seeing tanks this size. Welcome to R2R

Here is the day we started construction, I cut out an actual size cutout in the wall we removed to put the tank in to show the enormity of the tank we had just ordered! No big deal the wall only had duct work plumbing and electrical to re route to accommodate the tank!
