The Tank went in without a flaw Thank God! Also I installed a 6" Cesar stone ledge around the tank which is great for looks and is water resistant!

Thanks for the support guys...I'm chuggin along! Here are some updates with the plumbing! Most of the pipes are 2" except what's coming out of the oceansmotions unit which is 1.5".

I thought it would be nice to color code the pipes! The red pipes are the ones returning from the pumps, the blue under the tank are the 2" drain lines to the sump in the garage, and the green 2" line is the drain to the sewer for when I wanna do water changes!

Plumbing Return from sump

Plumbing Return from sump

I wanted the return from the sump to come out of the bottom of the tank so detritus won't build up on the bottom of the tank.

Also... clean water will be released at the bottom of the tank which will force the dirty water up and that will be taken by the overflow box to the sump again!

I thought this would be a good idea and I saw a couple other guys here on the forums do this and it looked like a good idea.

The tank dimensions are 10'x3'x30" but I thought my wifey could help make the size more relevant...lol!

Taging along from Argentina. Amazing build.

I have a 260G mixed reef, and i also have an understanding wife that supports me, but an 800G is out of the question jajaja.

All the best, and keep the updats coming.

What made you choose glass vs. acrylic?

I chose glass because it doesn't scratch as much on a daily basis... I feel like acrylic glass scratches so easily

[ReefGirl777]

George, this is an amazing feat! I can't believe you took the time to color code all the plumbing. It looks intense... excellent tank!

What's the next step and when is the estimated time of completion?

 

[ReefGirl777]

btw... how thick is the glass and how heavy was it carrying it in?
