tank was delivered today, and i have a minor set back the tank was broke coming into my house it was dropped on its corner by my helper and now i need to replace some panels so i get to do some cutting for the next week, it wont be too hard to replace the two panels im just glad the bottom didnt get affected. on the plus side we got some measurements for my sump and when its built ill be getting two replacement panels and getting them put in when the sump gets here so ....all in all im pleased and the tank is magnificent its huge ill post some pics later when i get a camera

Oh man what a bummer about the broken glass.

heres a few quick phone pics of the tank the last one is showing the crack









here is the crack ill be taking out the cracked panel and putting in a new one while the sump is being built

the second pic is going to be the front so my tank is split into and from the front you should see a mix of both.....im still way up in the air on whats going to go into what but lately ive been thinking small mini reef in the small section which is about 60g and some sort of non reef friendly section in the " L " part of the tank , i have a snowflake eel and at least one of the sections needs to accomodate him as he grows , i gotta say though im loving the dimesions so far im going to be figuring out the flow here soon and i think i will run both sections off different pumps and use a powerhead in the end of the " L "


all together there are 3 return drains coming from the over flow and 4 drains in the overflowbox returning to the sump so i have quite a few options for flow without having to use powerheads but we will see how it works and i guess its time to go pump shopping i already have a mag 12 at my disposal i could use for the 60g section and i could match it up with a higher mag for the rest but ill have to gather up some info and who knows i may not even use the mags

Hey Denny the tank looks awesome! Cant wait until you get this one running. Bummer about the glass, it looks like its gonna be a lot of work. Congrats!

I have seen the tank and its AMAZING The workmanship is second to none, but considering its done with a CNC you could expect nothing less. Cannot wait to see this thing with water in it (whenever that may be)

I hope that it'll be as good as new, but you will be the envy of Edmonton reefers when it's up and running with your zoa collection and fat healthy yellow tang.

Very cool Denny, glad the tank made it safely to the stand this time. Also love the idea of it being split into two sections so you can house different types of fish in the same tank without issues of them hurting one another.
