Awesome to say the least. My uncle has been talking about a round tank for years. Seeing these might push him over the edge.

I'll be setting up a cylinder tank in my shop soon, only its going to be a jellyfish exhibit. The first picture is of the cylinder I'm using and the second picture is a 2000 gallon jelly cylinder at Shark Reef in Vegas that I set up in 2000. My cylinder is a former hyperbaric chamber we converted into an aquarium, we have two of them and will be doing different species in each.

The first picture really shows that no background is needed in a cylinder tank.

How do you keep the water flowing all the way to the center of the tank? Are there strong currents in there?

Awesome tank... wish I had the cajones to build a tank like that!!! But think about it, ONLY ONE SEAM!!!!!!!! If I were going to tackle an acrylic tank, this would be it. Great job, can't wait to see it grown in!

Teddan, you did a most awesome job on your tank. I am most impressed with the work you did fitting everything into the stand.

I must also say I have pump envy as Deltec doesn't export those 8070's to the U.S. Perhaps one day they will, but until then I can only dream.

Brett

Great tank, and well thought out first rate.

As to the Deltec pumps they are nice lots of flow for low watts but i had to pull three of my 180 as if not cleaned every 6 months they would jam, and just get hot. I have heard mixed reports from no problems at all to complete pump failure due to bearing corrosion.

The bearing needs to run wet, and I am not sure the original pump body was designed for saltwater use.
I hope all work ok and you do not have a problem.

I replaced mine with iwakis, and these have proved more reliable
