the new " big build"

[tropills]

Teaser pic, more to follow when I get some extra time, it's alot farther along .. this is just the stand .... " cully" you can scuba in this one.. lol

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

what size aquarium?

the stand looks really tall....

 

[tropills]

Plywood build, approx 620 gallons not including the sumps.. the stand is 48" to aid in proper viewing eliminating the sore back syndrome we all get from looking into our tanks..

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

620 glass?

 

[tropills]

Yes glass front only..

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

glass and plywood?

 

[tropills]

Yeppers ...

My lookdown lagoon I had was over 700 gallons but I missed the front viewing. Top down was hard with all the surface agitation it had.. so I figured why not give a plywood glass front tank a shot..

Put in an air hose and I can be part of the mermaid (merman) show.

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

any merperson is gonna have a hard time getting up over the top and in!

 

[tropills]

That will be addressed in another post Gary, I came up with a pretty slick idea to address that..

Looking great so far Greg! How are you going to handle the humidity in that room? Also, how are you getting epoxy onto the sides?

 

[Krypt1979]

Looks like it's gonna be an awesome build. What are you doing to the floor for the weight you're tossing on it? That's gotta be a good couple tons right?

The tank is removable for just that reason and for glass installation .. also have a window in that room that will have a exhaust fan with a humidity sensor ..
