Ok, it's not 100% finished yet, but I've determined that it never will be.
I started thinking about this tank in August of 2003. Real designs starting meeting paper in October and it got wet in February. Saturday I hosted the local reef club meeting and showed it off to people for the first time.
This tank sets almost in the middle of my (25' x 25') great room. One end of the tank is sunk into the wet room that was built after putting the tank in place. The stand and hood were finished and integrated after the wet room was built.
The wet room ended up being much bigger than the original diagram and the tank is further in the middle of the room.
Anyway, this thread will by my tale describing the journey from this diagram to the final product.... I hope you enjoy the thread a fraction of how much I enjoyed assembling the system.
