Default The Build

This was the fun part. If you've never watched an aquarium being built, it might be really interesting. For me, it was inspiring.

I have to say again how impressed I was with the tank builder. As you go through the following slides, I think you'll see that this was not their first tank.

I'll spare you the commentary. A picture is worth a thousand words.

The tank was assembled as shown in these pictures in one evening. The cleats and Eurobracing were attached during a second visit. The overflow was attached during the third visit and cleanup was completed on the forth and final visit.

It not's hard to understand why a site build costs more than having the tank built at the shop. If you consider the cost of delivering such a large tank, I was happy to pay a little extra to have it built on-site.

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the Eurobracing being assembled or the overflow. However, the final tank pictures show these features well.
