Thanks Denzil, glad it is over. Now for the real work!

Very cool! Your tank is incredible Kris. Definitely raises the BAR!;) It is nice to see so many different kinds of fish kept together, as this is my goal. What does the moray eat? I always thought they would eat my fish? John

Thanks Mark, I really dig the ghost too! I can remove it if the water level is down 5". The weir is removable always, it is magnetically attached. I think the tank weighed around 500 lbs but not sure.

Nice frags Jim. And some happy lookin fish too! How often do you feed that tank?

Parts assembled for beananimal style drains. The one on the right will have a ball valve in line to adjust for full syphon, allowing a trickle in the pipe on the left.

Thanks a lot Jim. It's actually quite a relief since the rest of the build really has no schedule to adhere to. I'll be making a list of plumbing parts soon. I will pm you.

Thanks Kris, I too am very excited. I began assembling my bean animal style fittings inside the overflow box between games yesterday. I purchased 1-1/2" abs fittings for this purpose (pics coming), so it looks like the one in the ghost advertisement. I will have three 1-1/2" drains from the...

Thanks John......should be awhile.;)

Sliding in from the back

Hoisting into position

Up the ramp and onto the deck

Hoisting down from truck we used an aluminum a-frame and 2 come-alongs. Once we had it in the air, I slowly pulled the truck out. The crew had only to balance the tank while we lowered it onto the six wheel dolly.

Chris and I wrestling the custom sump into position. The sump is 24" wide X 20" tall X 69" long.

Yep, today I got tanked!!!!!! The tank arrived today. I left work early, picked up the tank which Joe had his buddy with a forklift load into my truck. By the time I reached home, Chris Tran arrived with sump and auxiliary stand. Chris installed the Huuuge sump, and by the time he was finished...

Arnold your reef is beautiful. Obviously you are an experienced reef keeper. I have trouble with the no skimmer thing though, and I am trying to understand. Do you still keep no skimmer? Do you have hair algae blooms? Many fish feeding alot or few fish with little feeding?

Thanks Brandie, Nice to start my day checking out your cool fish! I can't wait to see how many fish you are able to keep, and the nutrient export methods you use. With all those planned fish, will you be contemplating an auto feed system?

That's all good info. Thanks to you all. Now for a more pointed question. Since I will be using a Neptune Apex, which has controlled receptacles, how many of the controlled receptacles should I have installed on one 20 amp circuit? There will be a frag and quarantine tanks in the system. How...
