600 gallon reef- finished stand and canopy...

Exactly- that and I wanted more space in my garage. no need for a 5 foot tall skimmer when a 3 footer is 6 times as effective!

Dont forget the Deltec Eco Chiller!!

Wow! great tank! It looks absolutely beautiful. I would support the canopy from the ceiling. I think 200+ pounds on top of the tank is too much for long term. How thick is the acrylic?

Thanks for all the great comments gents!

Lunch-
I am in college. I go to the University of Texas.

Charles-
The acrylic is 3/4" Last night i installed eye hooks on top of the canopy and attached them to the eye hooks in the ceiling that the light rack is hanging from. The canopy now sits 1/8" of the acrylic. Now i can sleep better at night...

Nice tank!!

When I was in college there was no way I would have the funds for something like that. Hell, I'm in the corporate world now and I still couldn't afford something like that w/out driving some junky car to offset the cost :lol:

Lucky guy I guess

Cheers,

I've been getting the equipment together with my roomated over the past 3 years. We both had reefs before this one. The deltec equipment has all been purchased since the tank was set up though. Couldn't be more happy with my purchases. The AP1003 Skimmer will be here tomorrow.

 

[Jim_S]

Yeah. That thing is going to be pretty sick on that badboy.

There are some great looking corals in there.

So did you go with the Deltec to keep the family complete? Or did you look at any other skimmers? I'd REALLY like to try out one of the BK's

Cheers,

Jim

 

[GMFett]

I wanted to complete the family. Judging from the reviews and my experiences with other deltec products i made the right choice- even if it did cost a small fortune. I looked at other skimmers but Doug's excellent customer service keeps me loyal to deltec.

 

[Jim_S]

:lol:

You're like me. I'd do the same thing.

Yeah, Doug has proved himself as a great guy to deal with. No doubt about it.

Nice tank, but 250 lbs is a lot of weight.

New AP1003 Arrived this morning from Kingfish Aquariums. They plumbed it in before I even got home from work! Also- new Sequence Dart return pump....
