I was just saying frags would do this tank no justice,,lol..
level is on stand. pic #6
Glass Cages, looks great, no problems dealing with them (did not ask for RUSH order) they actually called me for early delivery!
Yes Sir, contents of 130g softie tank, 130g sps, 170g lps (w/24" RBTA, and 18" leather), and a frag tank, mostly, full of chalice colonies, and ALOT of fish, many with me for 5 years already.
SORRY about that, couldn't help, myself...I'm 3rd generation, car dealer!
Well, at least MY slice!
I WISH this was the finish line...it's not over till it's over...this isn't a little race, this is the Tour de France...I'm still worried, I've heard that Tobin may be juiced!
Thank You...I'm doing this for all of Westchester!
Actually stand is not complete...builder did not bring enough 4X4s with him...I put tank on stand for pics, and measurements, he'll be back in day or 2, but doesn't interfere with other preparations I have to make...BUT all observations are NECESSARY, PLEASE feel free to mention ANYTHING that may not look right.
It's the same tank you saw here, and it HAS taken too much time, but at least I don't have as many tanks and homes to worry about, as you!
not charging ANYONE (even you) for looking!...there will be a donation requested for guided tours!
tank is 3/4" acrylic, but only 27" tall...will be fine
Thank you, hopefully THIS is the last upgrade!
I HOPE SO TOO, I'm still going to need your help/expertise to get this done!
tank is 450g, sump is 150g, and frag tank should be 50-75g...For lights, I was LUCKY to purchase two 72" solaris LED units from MR marketplace, plus I have enough equipment to run 12-16 4' T5 HOs
Well, only because your NEW baby is not due for a few months, otherwise, we're cutting it close, and may have to downgrade from 72" TV!
already received 'sunken ship' as Christmas gift, feel bad about, not yet, using it. As for corals, Tobin has been going around, buying up ALL the corals, he can get...I have a feeling, he's waiting to SURPRISE me!.................WOW, answering this thread is killing me, and taking time from the build........Thanks everyone, hope to keep you all, up to date!

I'm getting ready to get re-certified in scuba diving in a few weeks in FL, if you only had water in that tank to for a test run...LOL
the stand as pictured was not complete...there will be nine 4"X4" 'legs' to carry the weight (only 6 are in picture...builder did not bring enough with him) plus 2 additional 2X4 cross beams. The 4X4s are 'notched' for the 2X4s to transfer weight. Will post better pics, when complete...another detail, I did not mention, is that the shelves in front, have their own 2X4 support, making them, a built in STEP, so I will not, constantly need a step-stood for various tasks (stand is 38", top of tank is 65", I'm only 1.45 inches taller!)
650g+ total volume...450g tank, 150g sump, 50-75g frag tank, which is actually about 100g LESS than the tanks I'm running, right now, to hold everything. Maybe I'll have to call this a DOWNgrade :splitspin

just going to throw this out cause i would have felt more comfortable myself...why didnt you use a steel platform instead.650 gallons is alot of weight and you would have had alot more room at the bottom.without the interference of the legs.

Because he knows I am not in NY to weld him up a stand! :splitspin
steel frame was too big, and would have to be made in house...I'm happy with the wood frame, plenty of storage space under tank, sump/fish room is behind wall.
New pics show add'l 3 legs under stand (total 9 4X4 legs), finished bookcase w/ built in step, custom molding, (no sharp edges, with 3 yr. old in house), and dual rear overflows, each 30" long for a total 5 ft. of surface skim. Some work, still left to do,on stand, but must wait to start/finish plumbing/electrical. .
