So I got out of the hobby after 10 years to go school in 2019 Previously had a 500 gallon reef tank In my parents house (some how they put up with that haha). But now 3 years later I have my own house that I recently got an addition put onto and I knew it was time for my return to reefing. My plan was to make the most high-tech foolproof system I could. Heres the build.

Nice tank man!
I don’t envy you getting that heat up there! How did you support the floors or did you?

“tony sparkles” haha great name.
The floor is braced with 3 huge LVL beams under the tank and one under the mixing station that were put in during construction so I got to retain all 3 garage spaces below.
