New tank

[scuba ken]

Aqua giant, any comments n the tanks ? Quality of builds ?

I buy glass and let David at aquagiant cut it. Best deal in town for glass and cutting. As for build quality, he seems like he knows Wut he is looking at. He even knows how to bend glass. His tanks at the shopp all seem to hold water well enough to put things in, so it may be worth an inquiry if anything!

Aquagiant built my tank

David will build your tank at your location, and it if it's standard sizes, then you can buy the glass with factory polished edges.

David built most of the tanks for Marine Experience, Neal can chime in on that.

Bob, aka Codfather purchased his glass from Aquagiant and assembled himself.

Watch for photos and up dates, I am hoping to put some more angels in the tank when it's ready, I think I am going to transfer some sand and rocks to seed it to start the cycle off.

My engineers and plumbers are going to see the Big ALS tank in the next few days to start looking at viability studies, we have sourced 2 15 inch black reef tip sharks, that will set up home with a moray eels and some "colourful fishes" looking at some angels (large) and some triggers to fill in the spaces.

Heard the sump and filtration is a little on the bogus side, so looking at a 300-400 gallon tank that I fill fill with various sponges and sock filters, I will change them out weekly, also going to fill o tank filling system, by adding a 100 gallon salt mixing station, I should be able to pump clean water straight into the tank and the sump discharge excess water into the drain, if this works I can in theory do 100 gallons a week, weigh the salt, fill the 100 gallons RODI and turn on a power head to mix it up, then just turn on a tap to start the "water change" and refill the mixing station when it's emptied.

Quick question - would it help if I filled some of the sump with live rock and a generous cuc ? I really want to keep the water clean, especially with the sharks in the tank.
