A picture tour of my tank (Pic intense)

Wow. After seeing how it turned out. Wow.
I love the marble. It must of gotten crazy with so many people working on this project, but the end results are nothing to argue with. The fish look great too. That is..... Wow.

All you need now is some marble base plate!

Sullyman found the thread after I talked to him at Sea Schor today. I live out by Elgin/Crystal Lake. You are still welcome to check it out if you want to take the trip.

The strapping has 2 coats of exterior paint, and is galvanized. My surges are sealed well, and saltspray is minimal. I will kepp an eye out for that though. I was smart enough to plumb everything with ball valves and true unions so I could take any part of the return system off line without affecting anything else. So , if it does become an issue I can fix it fairly easily.

Moonjelly, the couch is a 12' diameter half circle so it won't turn around easily. We were thinking about the tank when we bought it though, and got a couch with a low back that is easy to look over. The tank is also built at the perfect height to stand in front of. On top of that, there's a 5" ledge around it so you can put your beer down and lean right up to the glass.

Base plate?

Man, now I don't even want to do my reef tank. It will feel the presence of yours down the road and have low self esteem.


Can't wait to check this thing out.

I will most likely check it out. My plan is a also a bar/in-wall tank (check my little red house for the design), so I am very interested to see how yours is put together.

Wow, that's a great looking finished product! The marble looks excellent as well. Great fish too!

I forgot to mention that I had an exhaust system installed to vent the heat directly outside. I need to get a bigger fan for it though. I'm also going to put the chiller in the room beihend my tank room. That way the heat from the chiller isn't pumped right back into the equipment room.

Wow, that is one great looking in wall!!
