Me standing in the tank for size reference but it's not showing very well in a dark and narrow container :)

Another tank shot.


From what I saw there in the dark the build is very nice with quality shining through. Can't wait to hoist this into it's future spot.

This was taken tonight. The tank will be transported to the offices tomorrow morning and I'll take some more pictures there.

Also if you want to enlarge the photos or see more check out my album at : http://www.flickr.com/photos/ccpaquarium/


Finally... Here is a shot of my friend building the stand.

Wow, your very own shipping container; that's pretty hardcore!!

Exactly what I was thinking!

Can't wait to see all of this go together!

The sump.


The tank will be hoisted inside in the next coming days. We need a special crane for that job. :)
 
Holy s^$%^$ WOW...That is crazy an 18 wheeler delivery with a crane. Thanks for the pics...Cant wait to see the progress. If I am ever in Iceland I would love to see this tank when it is done...WOW
 
I am the man who imported the tank for CCP to Iceland and I can tell when I opened the container and saw the tank in real life I had water coming out of my mouth from drulling.

This is the biggest tank here in Iceland owned by a private owner.

All the ideas for this tank is great.

Congrats Arnar, and also for letting me be in on this as this will hopefully come to that I will import more of those big tanks here to Iceland.
