I’m starting a build thread for my new 500 gallon build.
This tank has been about a year in the making. I had a 200 gallon double deep that recently failed on me, if you have seen my recent posts on other threads… it was every reefer’s nightmare. A seam leaked suddenly and I lost a lot of fish and coral in the process. Needless to say, the timeline for this tank got moved up. Back in the spring of 2020 I ordered this 500 gallon coast to coast customs tank in preparations for upgrading. Fortunately the tank and stand we already built when the other tank failed.
Last week, we completed building the fish room in the garage and today, we finally got the tank and stand in place.
Pics of old tank, new fish, new empty fish room, and new tank.
tank is 8ft x 3ft x 32in soactual dimensions closer to 480 gal.
