Rob's 450g Build Thread!

[Robs Reef]

Finally tore my 300g Deep Dimensions down to make way for my 450g. Heres a link to my 300. https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/r2r-r...ht-robs-300g-deep-dimension-january-2018.392/

It was tough tearing it down, but I'm looking forward to the new canvas I have and see what I can do with it.

Stay Tuned!!!

Ordered the Tank back in November of 2017, once I ordered, I contacted a friend of mine Will Scott to start on my stand. Stand was done in January, picked it up and took it to Class A Powder Coat to get sprayed black. It turned out great!!

First post! Can't wait!

If it turns out even similar to your 300, it will be epic!

 

[BestMomEver]

Daaaaammmmmmn! I had a 500 a number of years ago. I’d forgotten how big it was until I saw your stand. Good luck!

Is the tanks home going to be the garage?

 

[Robs Reef]

no, it'll be going inside, need to do some construction and remove some walls.

What are the dimensions? Mine was about 8’x3’x3’.... or thereabouts. Yours looks wider and lower...

Tank weighs over 1200lbs, so I contacted some friends in the reefing community. Very big guys that had good backs :). Thanks to Todd, Dimitri, Jeffrey, El Kae, Steve, Chris, Vince, and my son. The top of the rim of my tank sits roughly about 71", great for viewing. As you can see in one of the pics for reference, Todd being 6'5". Great for viewing without bending over.

 

[Robs Reef]

Heres some pics of the over flow, looks great!

Looks sharp

PVC bottom? I'm surprised you don't need a top euro also with the 48" width.
