Grizz's 8' shallow sea
 

So here it is 2010 and I said to the wife that I would not be looking to upgrade to a bigger tank for a while. Well that failed miserably as I have bought a new tank.

96"L x 22"W x 18"D, dual corner overflow's, sump & pump, plumbing & a huge a** UV Sterilizer 30W.

I have built a new stand that is going to be totally enclosed with 1/2" oak. Going with a 3/4" oak top with a 1/2" styro between the tank and oak topper.
Here is the stand:

I am also building a new sump for it out of acrylic

Whoa how big is big? He he :biggrin:

WOW! I really am looking forward to seeing this up and running:biggrin: Im a big fan of the shallower tanks. What the total gallons on this bad mutha?

Consider me subscribed!!!

very nice

Greg, this is gonna be cool to watch over time. The rest of you people......BUY HIS FREAKING BOWFRONT ALREADY!!!!

Greg told me that that is what this project is waiting on haha.

I calculate about 165G.

Yes you are right at 165 gal, with the sump design total water volume is going to be 223 gal's. The main display is only 10 gal bigger but the sump volume will be double the size of the one in the 155.

wow .. you werent kidding when you said you can build anything...nice job.
have to keep you in mind for my next stand upgrade:smile:

Please do and spread it around as well,:lol:
