Hi.
Yes it's official
My pride & joy is sold !
Unfortunately the buyer wanted plug & play so unlike the first buyer that fell through
All the gear, ALL has been
Sold
Only thing left is livestock & uv
So new build begins
Have a few new innovative ideas for the new one that aren't commonly seen
We are Very excited
So all I will say is
8.5 x 4.7 x 2.3
3400lt (1000g)
Star fire peninsular
here we come
Will be posting the build and hope you enjoy tagging alone
Expected date of transfer is 12-16 weeks
Just as well because this is massive task to say the least

The black tape on the floor is final
Measurements around our 7 x 2.5
And yes new tank needs to be in the same spot

You are crazy! Crazy good! HA!

Who's building the tank?

 

[NeptuneGarden]

Interested to see how you get a tank that wide inside the house...... remove a large window ? double door or sliding glass door somewhere ?

Should be fun

I just put two and two together, I thought your tank look familiar- just realised I seen it on a facebook reef group the other day. Where abouts in Australia are you?
