Cuz's 605g system

Oh...Wow... Very Impressive, nice to have some good buds to help you move that monster, I will certainly be paying close attention to your build...
 
got the wall cut out behind the tank, went pretty easy just a few lines needed re-routing.
I think tomorrow Ill mix up a pile more sw and get the right sump shoved under there.

Looks great even without the sand and all :spin3:... planning on addin any more vortechs?


Thanks!!

I almost was going to try sand this time but nobody had enough in stock so BB it is!!

For vortech's theres 2 mp-60's on the left side and 3 mp-40's along the back glass. Once I'm done the tank will be viewable from the front and right side so I don't want to add anything to the right glass to obstruct the end view. So far the corals are happy but if need be I could add another mp-60 down the road.
 
Got the temporary sump replaced with my 135g sump.
It drains into both ends of the sump, then each side has a vertex IN-280, followed by a seperate return pump for each side in the middle of the sump.

kind of a boring update but I'm getting a little more done each night. I had foam left over from moving the tank so I thought I'd use it to keep as much tank noise out of the living room as possible.

Then threw up some 3/4" plywood around the stand to get it ready to "rock"

Now that is a tank. That's a lot of glass.
The "how you got it in there" shots are really cool. Thanks for sharing those.
Gonna be an amazing tank with what I've seen so far. :thumbsup:

Are you building it into the wall with a separate room behind it?
 
You can see in some of the pics the big hole I cut in the wifes new wall, lol.
I don't think it can be classified as in-wall as it will look cosmetically different, being as big as it is tho it automatically looks to an in-wall tank no matter what.
It will be viewable from the front and right hand side opposite the window.
The room behind the tank is mine to use but being the utility room as well its already crowded!
 
It just looks from the photos like you are gonna seal in the bottom to the wall and you where talking about "rock".
I was wondering if you were gonna seal in the top area too. So all the noise and moisture etc. is open to the back utility room only.

You and your wife have your own walls? That's hilarious.:D

yup I'm going to enclose the top with a canopy that opens into the utility room (front access will be a piano hinged door).
In a new house all the walls are hers!! Nothing gets rid of the new home smell like tearing down a wall!!lol
 
Who built your tank and what was the price on it? I am moving into a new house soon and want to do a similar build as yours. If you do not want to say the price on hear you can PM if you like.
I will be putting the tank on the back wall of our new dinning room with a closet under the stairs as my equipment room which is directly behind it.

Awesome tank!
 
It was built by Concept Aquatics in Calgary, Alberta. The cost was just under 3g.

Dining room would look great!! I'd recomend more than a closet for an equiptment room unless your closets 10fx10ft! I already wish I had more space, also definately a basement tank unless you really beef up the floor!
 
Incredible! It is insane how quickly you have been making progress. Love everything about this build. Corals look really happy in the new system! Keep up the good work, and thanks for taking the time to document your progress!
 
thats gotta be one of the most successful transfers i've seen...great job man! congrats on your upgrade :)
