you are a true mentor Chingchai, I would not have done this without your demonstrated courage on your build. We all owe you thanks for the example you have set.

I've been contemplating a 12' long tank, but this just blows it away!! Can't wait to see it come together.

Great tank. I'm definitely following this thread. I think that tank is bigger than those two cars in the first picture. Can't wait for more pictures

Earlier, a number of mobile hydraulic lifts were air lifted into the basement by the crane so that there was something on the other side of the window to catch the tank. Also the custom stand was prepared for the ultimate landing.

Wow, this is going to be impressive

This tank is right on its way to TOTM. Very detailed build so far. Keep the pictures coming.

While all the tank adjustments were going on to mount the unit on the stand the crane was used to move the new backup generator that is dedicated to the aquaria and its supporting systems. It is 17,000 watts plumbed into the natural gas line to ensure that 3 seconds is all the down time the whole system will ever encounter. It tests itself once a week and confirms by email that all systems are healthy.

After the generator was placed on its pad on the side of the house we moved the three Mars systems into the basement for deployment into the fish room.

HOLY FISH!! im just curious on what you plan to stock this tank with!

 

[hamilton]

wow. just wow.

 

[nineball]

Finally...well sort of....

Short side

Long side

Inside L
I know the depth of field is wrong but I think its relevant as the plans call for total viewing on both sides as well as from the two floors above.

Coming to the end of a very long day.....5 months ago!
