I cannot describe how cool this is or how jealous I am

 

[mr9iron]

This is an interesting build that I will enjoy watching.

40 more boxes of salt. 70 in total. I will need more.

 

[dave.m]

Why not contact Instant Ocean directly and see if they will let you order it by the palette. There might be some savings in it for you.

You should get your first load as NSW via tanker or something.

That's insane. Hope you got a vendors license so you can just purchase it at wholesale! Your purchases would probably rival a lfs during the setup of these beasts.

WOW.. Dam I wished i had the $$$ ...

 

[h2so4hurts]

Wow, Al, this looks amazing. I hope you don't ever plan on moving!

 

[kegogut]

It is quite amazing. I showed my sister-in-law your build thread and she was blown away. she just couldnt fathom a build like this. its quite spectacular.

When is the expected date of sharks being put in?
This is not my shark pool but I am just so excited to see the finished product, this is one of the greatest builds I have ever seen

 

[alprazo]

Don't get too excited. It is going to take a while. The two lagoons are my first priority. A deal with my wife will also keep sharks out of the big pool for several years, though everything is being done to house sharks in the future

As for the salt, it is purchased by the palette. I have gone through 10 since my last order and now that it is on sale again, I just bought another.

 

[WSPepsilon]

You should seriously look into getting a vendor's license even if it requires you to establish a company. Long term cost savings will be better for you and as I mentioned before, your POs for this build alone will probably rival most lfs. Plus you could sell at cost or slightly above to some local reefers.

I was speaking to a guy the other day that mentioned that he has previously sold you some sharks (Josh from NY)...he recently opened a LFS...if you contact him, he could probably get you a better deal on supplies!

He is also in the process of building a large indoor pool to hold his sharks

 

[Joe0813]

speechless...

 

[Dapg8gt]

A lot of progress since the last time I checked. Thanks for updating. Speechless on the whole thing the salt in the back of the truck and you saying you need 70 200 gallon boxes brings It into light on how massive this build Is. One word ....AWESOME..

 

[alprazo]

Albino,

Yes josh has hooked me up with some great deals. I have a couple of friends in the business and get many of the supplies at wholesale. Though I am always shocked at how little markup is at the retail level. It is a hard business and anyone doing it has to love it.

I now buy all of my sharks from Josh. The price and health of his fish has been unmatched. I think I have 6 from him.

 

[alprazo]

Btw, his shark pool will be at least double mine.

 

[Reeftanks6]

Holy.... this is going to be one hell of a build
