what happened? no updates did the project stall?

I've been waiting for the contractor who is building the house improvements but finally in the last couple of days I got some progress !

They just leveled the table and put cement at the base. They have also built a stand in front of the table which will hold the tank temporarily while we push it on to the steel table. Steel beams will be fastened to the ceiling so we can lift the tank onto the movable tree stand. My fish room will be there in the far left corner but the walls are not up yet. You can see the steel beams in the foreground.

I'll include more pictures as things progress.

Finally the tank is in it's final position. We lifted it onto the stand yesterday.

Here is a Video of the process. (YouTube)

I will add some photos a little later today.

coulda used some of that cutout concrete for baserock. lol just messin. awesome build. look forward to seeing it all setup

gonna call in a fire truck hooked to a massive ro/di unit to fill it? hehe

Things happening kinda slowly these days but the room is being completed along with my fishroom.

A friend of mine is building the overflow box and another one is building a frame for all the lights.

When the room is finished and the construction workers are out I can finally start with the plumbing and such. Hopefully in the next few weeks.

I'll upload a few pics soon.

One of many good things about Iceland is the clear water, nobody here uses ro/di unit!

Arnar this is looking pretty cool!

Cured Rock

Cured Rock

You can keep the cured live rock out of the water for at least 48 hours provided you cover it with sea water soaked news paper. Try to keep the room temp close to tank temp during this process to extend this period.

Why do I get the feeling that the overflow box could have its own thread in the Large Reef Tanks forum?
