Very nice. Is that a gigas clam I spy on the one end? 48” dimension is very cool, though will require access from both sides.

depth will be a challenge but this can be placed peninsula style. I will make that decision when the tank arrives

Awesome buddy! I am happy for you!

I know this will be awesome, although we probably won't see the filtration system for about 2 years after it's setup. ;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious

TWO years. Why rush me. Three years more like it o_O

There was a choice of 3. This one kept jumping out at me although it was the highest at $5000 !! I may list my current tank as soon as this afternoon

I hope you have a concrete floor - that's 3 tons+ of "ocean front" in your home. It is a beauty, Kudos!

Doing the rough math it's ~5.2 tons of wonderfulness lol Awesome find @vetteguy53081, looking forward to seeing this one set up.:):)

@vetteguy53081 you know when it's THE ONE

LOL- You know it !!!! Had my reef club over for dinner and small meeting yesterday and they said the same thing. I lost count of how many pictures they were taking of my current tank and had to laugh as I promised a summer BBQ and to see the new one and thinking- " Wait til they see the New one."

I couldn't agree more!

Thank you Captain !! You have no clue what game plan I have for this beast as I am done with Base rock. Have 180# of pure Pukani rock on its' way and I'm going to all Orphek atlantic lighting along with my Kessils A700. A am also adding two more Icecap 3 Gyres to the center for added water flow.
I Promise many pics and will do so from the time the tank arrives in my driveway until it is fully set up and running.

Your math is fantastic. I came up with a guess of 4.5. Thank goodness for concrete flooring in that very location I'm placing it

My Patio doors can slide or fold. When folded, I have a 5.5 foot opening
