Almost 11 foot long tank!

[BigReef]

Main pump is a Barracuda. It will have 4 enductors on it.

I don't think the Barracuda will provide the pressure to power 4 eductors!

HEre we go!

Water is now circulating!

It looked like there was no bottom in that stand and there was carpet underneath. If I were you I would put a bottom in the stand and seal it so that it holds water.

 

[Jeremy Blaze]

Kinda late for that!

sweet tank!!! what is the lighting on the tank?

 

[Jeremy Blaze]

Each end has a 400 watt XM 20k, then ther are 250watt xm 20k, and a 400 will be added to the center.

Looks real nice!

What exactly is holding the bottom sheet of glass on the stand? From the pic's it only looks like 2x4's front to back/sides. If its a completely flat bottomed tank, your going to need to rethink the support structure to relieve those stress points. But I could be wrong.

I'll bet that lili firefish in there is sayin "cool, I've got this 11 foot tank all to myself."

 

[Jeremy Blaze]

Tank only sits on the edge. It has plastic trim.

I saw the 'firefish' it is actually an ollusion, there is not a fish in the tank, I think its from the camera.

 

[clekchau]

love the length of that tank

I would be very concerned about the Bottom of the tank not having additional support accross the bottom to support the heavy weight from the rock and sand. :eek1:

Great looking tank and stand set-up.

I second that. That tank is really big to be just resting on the edge. It should be on one solid, heavily reinforced, flat, object. (wood, iron, steel, etc...) Then, as stated in glass cages warrenty and set up instructions, should have a 3/4 piece of styrofoam in between the tank and stand. The tank will settle from the weight over time and could easily stess crack. I would seriously think about reconsidering the stand. It's not too late, you have no live stock at risk. Yes it's a pain to redo the rock and water etc... but it will be well worth it! I would also think abou putting a floor in it if you do tear it down as some one mentioned before. Just my 2 cents. Good luck!

I would say that if the manufacture built it with a tirm around the edges it will support it. 120 talls are built the same way...and there is no more weight on the edges of that tank than there is a 120 tall. you can go as long as you want.....just don't go taller or wider without changing the bottom. most large manufacturers make all of their small ( less than 24"wide) tanks to be supported only on the outside edges. actually, i hear that placing a large glass tank on a flat surface with the glass in direct contact can weaken the tank by causing small differences in pressure.
