birth of 2 builds totaling 30k gallons

[hedgedrew]

I'm starting new build threads for the new arriving tanks. For now pics can be found at sps 1250. One system is 22k with 15k gallon tank. The other is 3500 gallon tank with just about 8k total system. The larger tank is being installed now. The smaller needs to wait for a house extention and hence is in storage for while. At some point I will separate the two threads.

Is this for private use?

 

[hedgedrew]

Yes. Private. But I'm sure I will be doing some tours.

 

[worm5406]

OK.. I will buy tickets now.

I am really interested in seeing what you are going to do with all that.

 

[hedgedrew]

Worm. This is really a big job. We are already in deeper than we thought. Lol. Have lot of good people and consultants on job. The 3500gallon tank will be sps dominated. I just can't see doing that in the massive one. Will be Marco rock tons of fish and probably some basic corals like sea fans, gorgonians, anenomes, maybe some pocillapora, turbinara. Etc. Want to make the big tank a set and forget project.

Very nice... It is going to be show tank, that is for sure!

Not to be strange... but I am more curious what is under the hood than anything else.

For the larger tank, may I suggest something along the lines of a few mermaids?

[hedgedrew]

Ok. Dave. I'll put fiance in a mermaid suit.!! She already has the red hair.!! Lol.

 

[ace_92101]

Wow, that's a lot of water! Will you be handling the maintenance on the system or will you have help?

 

[chillwill007]

Yea defiaNtly need to
Subbed to this

 

[hedgedrew]

Worm. All the big chillers, lights reactors and skimmers have been purchased and are in storage. Same with huge pumps. As soon as we take out of storage I'll update the under the hood.

 

[worm5406]

Put Yalcin in a mermaid suit instead.

New tank star

 

[hedgedrew]

I have help.! Yalcin.!! But I'll need more. Have to figure that out still.!!

 

[hedgedrew]

The first picture you looking at is big tank slab. Once tank is in, the extention of the house to be 15 feet past garage door, will be built for fish tank rooms on basement level and below basement level ie sub basement. Garage door is a goner.! Sub basement will be where sumps and mixing vats will reside.

 

[hedgedrew]

Worm. That's fore sure a great idea gag.!!!

 

[nyyalcin]

Yap. Worm just for you . lol

 

[d2mini]

We need a new category for tank builds.
There is LARGE tank builds... and then there is INSANE tank builds.
I think this one belongs in the latter category. lol

I can't wait to see this thing filled with water. What type of larger fish are you thinking about?
