@JoshH you don’t have anywhere local where you could pick your own rock? Even if you got it live?

Nothing local that has the shelf rock in particular, only two retailers in all of Canada that I've found and they are both in Ontario. There are lots of regular Reef rock available locally and what I would call precured dry rock, live rock to me comes from the ocean.

live rock to me comes from the ocean.

Me too. I was spoiled. Got to hand pick Pacific live rock for mine.

Ok, so the original label on the box from 2018 says 54lbs, so maybe has 30-35 lbs of shelf and another 15-20lbs of the standard marco rocks...not getting rid of my pukani rock that I have left so don't ask ;Stop.

@JoshH I saw on one of the Facebook pages someone had a one-piece Euro-brace made by another Canadian manufacturer - EIGHT years ago. There was a picture and the tank looked really nice. Who else in Canada makes custom tanks?

When I was on Reef Aquarium Guide maybe 10 years ago, there was a guy that had a local glass shop make one for his rimmed tank that he was modifying. I think he said it took three or four tries because it kept breaking. I bet it was never tempered either. That was the first one I ever saw. I am glad the Miracle Tank will have one.

Only two that I am aware of, Miracles and Concept, however I believe there are one or two more builders in the Toronto area that have been around for quite some time.

The one piece is tricky and I can only imagine how much trickier they would be in a regular shop. At Miracles they are cut out on a Water Jet table then sent out of house for tempering. I'm almost certain when mine was made the first one broke during tempering. Derek mentioned to me that over the last year or two the volume of one piece euros hes had ordered have gone up exponentially. He had to purchase a second water jet to keep up as they take an incredibly long time to cut out, I think mine was in the neighborhood of 10 hours orso.

Because they are beautiful!

I used to have some pretty pink zoanthinds in the old Pirate's Reef. That's them in the center.
