Gimmito's 450 gal L-shaped tank

[gimmito]

water don't count in a frag tank dude! 8)

I thought frags need water ?

I vote for it being legit. There is rock, foam, lights, etc...
All those holes to drill? No CNC are you joking?

816 reasons to be legit brother.

Hmmm ... Legit or not...
Obviously a ton of work, and a really big milestone.
And a ridiculous number of holes.
But then - the title of this main thread relates to the big 450 gallon tank, not to a cool frag tank
in the garage. So I am not so sure that it counts.


Ok : The real reason : If we called it legit, we lose the fun part about teasing endlessly about not being done.

I should have called it a 700+ gallon build so I would get more credit.

True, and would sound even more impressive.
Does that include the quarantine tanks as well?

You forgot to add the pipes.
Even though a joke, mine are somewhere around 7 gallons. I bet yours are a more.

 

[sfboarders]

80 pages and no corals or fish in the tank build? *yawn* :tired: :bigsmile:

 

[Mr. Ugly]

The thread will go to 717 pages. 1 page per gallon

I want to deliver a bunch of chaeto just to see the smaller parts of the system functioning!

I should have called it Millbrae Aquarium so I would get more credit.

I was shooting for 100 pages...makes me look good in hindsight.

Leave it to the engineer to calculate the gallons in the pipes.

Look out Steinhart :exmark:

Leave it to the engineer to calculate the gallons in the pipes.

In that case, you get to use specific humidity of the fish room and add that water to your total system volume too
