My 90 Gallon Pile of Rocks

Re: My 90G Pile of Rocks

Moving everything over isn't as easy as you think, Your system is stable and it supports it self, If it were me, I'd quarantine every thing that I couldn't live with out and sell the rest, Then once your new system is set up and stable, then reintroduce those special corals very slowly. It's easier to start up a new tank then move one to another. I know plenty of people will say it's easy to do. But not for the long term success of your system.

Re: My 90G Pile of Rocks

It's officially official!

My new tank has been ordered.

210 Gallon

Dimensions are 72L x 26W x26H

5/8" Eurobrace - Starphire

3/4" Starphire Glass Front and Sides and 3/4" bottom and rear panel - A little overkill, as it will be very heavy and hopefully not moved for a long time.

Mitered corners cut at 90 degrees.

Floating Bottom

Black Acrylic Internal Overflow 4 x 18

Drilled with 4 holes (3 bean animal + 1 return)

Black Vinyl Background

It will be getting manufactured overseas, so I should be getting updates with pictures as things progress from our friends over at Aquatic Kingdom 8)

Wow even fishtanks are outsourced nowdays.  I guess good ole Canukistan glass ain't good enough?

Re: My 90G Pile of Rocks

Lol!

It's funny, in my talks with people, a lot of our glass is shipped to the states, then imported back into Canada within the tanks from other custom tank builds.

Sounds like it will be sweet.  3/4" wow she will be heavy.  Why the extra height?

Thanks, I calculated the weight and it looks like it will be close to 500 pounds!

I was going to go with a standard 24" height, but think that the extra 2 inches should be manageable. It is custom, so they can build any size anyway. I got the idea from Great Lakes Aquarium, since they offer a 26" height in many of their tanks.

I also like the looks of the 30 inch deep tanks, but know from guys who have them, that they are a PIA to work on. I'm hoping the 26 inch height won't be too much of an issue.

Those are some nice dimensions!  Looking forward to seeing some pics when it arrives.  opcorn:

Thanks Jordan, I will have to get you over here to help with my scape too

Re: My 90G Pile of Rocks

Sounds like a sweet tank!  Full C2C overflow or just a box?  Gonna drop it where you have the 90 right now or a new location?

Re: My 90G Pile of Rocks

Definitely need a full blown build thread with this tank

Sounds like an awesome tank !!

Re: My 90G Pile of Rocks

That's great Tyler, SO where are you gonna put this Monster? What is a floating bottom? Any changes with the lighting?

 

[Salty Cracker]

Re: My 90G Pile of Rocks

Just add 12" of DSB and you'll still be able to reach the bottom.

Re: My 90G Pile of Rocks

sweet. sounds like its going to be a build to watch, can u tell us what your plans are going to be for all of this? are you just doing the basic transfer to get started or do you plan to start over? any plans of NOT transfering some stuff, IE the blue cloves, palys etc etc.
