Big Aquarium Stand For Musium And How Is Built..

[zooqi]

I know there are few big aquariums in your area and wonder which method it was used .. Cender Blocks, I Beam, Wood, Ground..

How big Mo? The stand for the zoo tank is built out of wood. There are lots of resources available that will give you load capacities for various sized beams and spans...

They used wood for the big Syracuse aquarium project, too.
Personally, I like what Sanjay did... ya know, the Schiemer stand thing with steel and cinder block construction.
I was tempted to do a bigger aquarium in the basement using the Schiemer thing myself. Maybe next time....

Edit: sorry if I misspelled Greg's name.
I'll forgive him if he ever mispells mine!

How's Mussina's aquarium doing, Mo?
As good as he's been pitching lately?

ROTFL! Gary, I think you've got a life-time pass on being forgiven, if you butcher the spelling of someone's name.

Where in Syracuse is this big aquarium? Worth checking out?
If so whats the address?

It's at the Museum of Science and technology I believe.

Yes its at the MOST. The stand is done and I believe the tank has arrived (700 gal) but there is still a LOT of work to do before its running.
