Couldn’t Help It

[Matt1997]

Couldnt help it, saw it so had to buy it. Personally I can’t make it with what I have accessible to me.

 

[Matt1997]

500 gallon. 96x24x48” tall. Full setup tank stand canopy, skimmer, 2 sumps, return pump, 500lbs rock

Wow...... That is a real nice looking stand

Ripley’s Aquarium called ....
They want their tank back

Looks good - best of luck !

I am so envious! How on earth do you work in something that tall? I though 36” was a challenge!

I had a similar tank before this that I regrettably sold last year. It was 86x30x44” tall and I could not reach the bottom of the overflow so I had to use a broom handle with a ball of tape to put the bulkheads in. Cleaning the tank will be fairly simple. Unfortunately may be a while before this thing gets up and running but some tanks are worth storing. There’s another one for sale with same dimensions I’m going to try to get as well

Depends on how you design the setup

What method are you going to use ?

Will you be using a automatic changing system?

I’ll have to look at the equipment first but I got an idea for it

 

[Matt1997]

Got it home and unloaded

Close

Any ideas on how to reach the bottom of this 4ft overflow box? Have to replace a bulkhead and tighten 2

 

[Big_Als_London]

Tighten it from the bottom. You'll need some long grabbers to pull the old one out to replace it.

Well, I really couldn’t help it. Finished off my dream by buying a second identical tank as this one. So I got 2 500 gallon tanks 8x2x4’ tall. I’ll be picking it up sometime in April as he is out of the country until then. Damn I’m excited
