Very nice. Looking forward to reading about your tank build.

Wow amazing!!!
A few questions:
1.) Are you going to cover the tank (jumpers), and if so with what?
2.) Are you going to have an ATO container under the tank? If so, how big?

the top of the tank, like the rest, is bullet proof...three access panels,,,each huge and cut from 1 inch acrylic...

refuge is 70 x 24 x 24

Are you going to have an auto top off with RO water under the tank or are you going to simply top it off manually whenever it needs it? I'm assuming the covers will significantly reduce the amount of evaporation.

ato will be added...may plumb that down the hall...looking into setting up a 300 gallon holding tank that will hold saltwater...plan is to have a small amount of water always circulating in/out of the tank...

That is an awesome tank you have there. How tall is the MRC skimmer?

 

[mattsilvester]

Looking forward to a populated FTS

it is an mrc 4...think she is about 3 feet tall...she will be outside the stand...between the wall and the overflow...building a cabinet to hide it and to cover the sides where you can see the overflow...

[humaguy]

belly of the beast...twin double height nu clears...refuge in background....

fuge....

fts...running only freshwater...

staight on....on this side the stand will have the couch in front of it....

best view of the tank...this blows me away...a yard wide....the 3d view is awesome...best decision i made...and super glad i did not waste the extra $ on a bull nose...just distorts...

 

[humaguy]

system 1...runs the main tankm only...pump is a snapper hybrid..adjust rpms...
system 2...runs the overflow only.......pump is a dart...
system 3...runs the skimmer only........pump is a blueline 70....

the exchange rate is massive...
lights, leds...
going to build 2 "doors" that will swivel towards the ceiling and will hook up to stay open...

 

[humaguy]

2 quad gfci recepticals in wall...
1 dual gfci receptical in wall....
two circuits...
1 quad gfci receptical in ceiling...
2 gfci circuit breakers in box...
switches to quads are located towards the ceiling, so the cant be thrown"'accidentally."

Wow that looks amazing!
I love the peninsula style tank.
Just a thought you may want to create a large cave/opening on the right hand side of the tank to allow the fish to do laps, or get away from an agitated tankmate.
What are your plans for lighting this beast?

 

[geaux xman]

damn i would be happy with a tank half that size.

 

[agreeive?fish]

looking fantastic

there is a large cave under there and several large openings in and out...the tank drains from under there so I left it wide open...

 

[humaguy]
