I can't wait to see your tank. I am working with Los in setting his tank up. His is a 360 96 x 36 x 24. It is being built from Miracle as well. Derek is great to work with. Good luck with your tank.

Your depressing me…I have a 450 gallon peninsula tank and I went with the Deltec AP902 skimmer…I guess I need to upgrade.

 

[djay]

Yes you do, ) sorry

 

[mcrist]

I just have a hard time spending that much money on a skimmer. Maybe one day.

When are you going to get the tank?

 

[djay]

I thought I read Saturday somewhere but I couldn't find it. Tank is looking great. I bet you can't wait to set it on the stand...

what are the demension of your tank, and is it rimless

 

[mcrist]

Mines 84x48x30 and no it is not rimless but it is euro-braced. I am not a big fan or rimless, it may look cool but I don’t think it’s practical. Did you change your mind and go rimless?

 

[djay]

no, mine is not rimless

 

[djay]

one more day

 

[djay]

tank is here, too tired to post pics today, will post tomorrow

So is the edge of the doorway coming out?? I had to put up a manufactured header because I took out a load berring wall for my 265g so that it would be a true peninsula.
Hope you have thought hard about ventalation because it was something I fell short on engineering and am paying for it now trying to do it while a tank is up and running.
Best of luck to ya!

In regards to ventilation I went the way of a whole house dehumidifier. I had a company come in that specialized in air quality and they recommend the dehumidifier. Depends on your local climate but for where I live the dehumidifier just made sense.
