Grizz's 8' - 300 gal + 60 gal + 30 gal OMG Build!!

[The Grizz]

Alright boys & girls here we go again........FINALLY!!

I have been trying to get this build going for well over a yr now & have been thinking / planning almost everyday.

This is the concept drawing that I mocked up many many many months ago & doesn't include the 60 gal cube or the 30 gal cube.

First step was to replace the laminate floor where the new tank is going to be.






Then came the building of the main stand & the 2 towers.




Main stand painted and into the house.

Looks great... Shortage of wall plugs for power maybe. where do you buy your steel from?

Going to be running a dedicated circuit from the power panel in my boiler / pool filter room that is downstairs & opposite side of the room once the tank is plumbed, pushed back to the wall & towers are in place.

I have a couple local steel supplies here in town that I buy from.

Now that the stand is in the floor is done & stand is in the house I guess it is time for a few LITTLE pieces of glass

Bottom, sides & back together.


Bottom of the overflow setting


Front of the overflow & back cleat done.

Didn't replace the front starphire, I actually polished out the scratches.
