Mr. Cena's 800 gallon Reef Tank

[Dyraxe]

Mr. Cena a national hero and world champion calls Tampa Bay home. At this home a 800 gallon reef tank will be the center focal point of his poker room. This tank weights in at a little over 1200 lbs. dry. Here are a few pictures of us moving the tank into the house.

**All tank specs and info will be posted at a later date**

Santa's little helpers

We needed custom ramps to get it in the front door.

It was a tighter fit then what the picture shows.

We use a pallet jack with floor jacks to get this baby up in the air and on the stand.

This is Rob putting it in the hole!

Its final resting spot. Man were we glad to have got this done with no problems.

I was just wondering if you got permission to post pics inside/outide of his house? Seems a little intrusive... I would hate to have that guy mad at me

 

[carlosngloria]

he coulda moved the tank him self and put it on the stand.

How tall is that tank?

You will need scuba gear to clean/aquascape.

Good Luck

Happy Reefing

Yes I am well aware of such a delicate situation it is when using pictures of ones house, trying to not expose anything that might be used as an exploit in such a case. This is why the only inside picture that will ever be used is the wall on which said tank sits. Each picture will be hand picked and further scrutinized to assure no pertinent information is leaked. Permission Granted.

Algae will be too scared to grow on the tank since all Cena has to do is glare at any that dares try to grow.

 

[reeferfriendly]
