Very nice!
I know that empty tank weighs a ton, did you reinforce the floor?

Nice tank, hopefully one day I can sneak something this size in the house without my wife not noticing.. definitely jealous.. is the bottom left side of the stand not touching the floor or is seem it in the picture ? also not sure if you might have an issue with the floor radiator being behind the tank maybe some one has some experience in that can advise.. either way best of luck.

The only issue that will probably happen over time with the baseboard heater behind the tank is rust.

Any updates?

The complete stand for this is aluminum and not plywood correct?

I had this tank for years. It’s a great setup. Few issues I had was the sump is tight and they have no way to use filter socks. The stand has an aluminum frame with a particle board skin that has a laminate on it. I had to add vca water diffusers to the return line that I split into two. I also added them to the little returns in the overflow. I swapped out the four ac pumps in the overflow for on Vectra S1 and plumbed them all together. I ran it with a Regal 250ss. I paid the heavy price for the artfully acrylic top and was very pleased with it. Any other questions hit me up.

Thanks StriperViper, that is very insightful. I definitely will pick your brain for my new setup. I bit the bullet and order a Red Sea reefer xxl 750 yesterday

Nice. I've had an S650 for a couple of years, very happy with it. Hoping to upgrade to the XL900 not too far from now.

The tank is support by those 20mm/ 0.7875" aluminum. Looks bit too small. Red Sea said the tank weights 310 lbs. but feel much heavier. With 175 gallons water should weigh about 1700 lbs. I probably use at least 1.25" aluminum. But I'm sure Red Sea test them many times. With 12 adjustable level screws. It's easy to level. All wood panels are just for looks. Not touching the floor.
