Go Big Or Go Home - Massive Upgrade With Huge Show Tank

[BIGSHOW]

those stands are sweet. where did you get that stuff? and how expensive is it?

They were about 8k. I can't remember the name I will have to check my invoice when I get home

I work till 5:30 Monday. If u need a hand at night I can help

Thanks Cliff. Likely it will be a morning/afternoon thing, but when I get the delivery date/time locked down I will let you know. Thank you for the offer, much appreciated.

What a truly incredible build. All I can really say is holy crap lol. I am definitely going to have to make a trip out to see this in person once you're all done.

I thought your old fish room was intense but this is a whole nother level. I can definitely sympathize with how draining it must be, but it also must feel amazing when you sit back and look at all that you've accomplished!!

Thanks Torx, remember you still got some free corals to claim from me for all your hard work on the forum...now is an even better excuse to come over.

Soon enough. Waiting on some cash to come in still for my inheritance, then I will make a trip for sure.

Talk about go big or go home, how about go big at home lol. This build is very suitable to the name BigShow, bravo

Those stands look incredible! Good to hear things are coming together, does indeed sound like a ton of effort both physically and financially, but once you are done will be beyond epic

Glass is arriving Mon/Tues...any takers for help? I will compensate, likely be in the morning sometime. Shoot me a PM if you can help.

Thanks everyone. This has been a massive undertaking both financially and physically/mentally. Nice to see it starting to come together.

Thanks again.

They were about 8k.

that made me spit out my coffee. OMG. Did the dude silver plate the stands? I guess you need them industrial made for the load you are going to put on them.

 

[Bayinaung]

Rest of the stands are complete.

That's an incredible shot.

 

[davesolo29]

The milk jugs jerry posted are probably $8k as well.

Looking good and expensive lol.

What are your plans for the floor? You should put in a trough style drain. It'll make clean up a breeze.

Thought about the troughs but not really needed since the floor slopes to both new drains. Both drains have 10" plates on them. Floor will be done with a industrial plastic tile that has a bit of texture to help traction when it gets wet and they are also slightly elevated so they are easy to spray down and have all debris wash to the drains
