Lasers 1000+ Inwall Starfire

The stand for the new tank arrived today!! Unfortunately the sump did not show up with it. AGE did not put eurobrace rim on it and Tommy at MidCities Aquarium insisted they add it as well as a middle cross member to support it!! Thank you Tommy.

Good news is that AGE will not charge me for the upgrade in the original bid of a 200 gallon sump vs the final design. Tank is done and silicone is curing. Tank and sump will now be delivered next Saturday. Should have filled with water by the end of the month.

Fortunately for the boys at Mid Cities Tommy brought fork lifts so not as bad as the vision I had

Here you can see how the stand allows flush access to the inside wall. The front of the tank rests on the support beam inside the wall.

Mind if I ask if bottom panel of the tank is glass, or PVC?

Fantastic! It looks like your house was built to have a huge tank there!
