That is going to be a awesome build. Can I make an appointment to get my teeth check after having my braces off for 32 years? I am following this one.

Nice! My orthodontist only had a mural of fish not a real tank

Well done Dr. wish you all the best in your new operatory design and success in your practice. This should help to lower the blood pressure and heat rate of your patients. Just one suggestion. Turn the chairs so the patient can see the tank and not just you and your assistants! Lol After all you guys can look out the window to refocus instead of the patients.

Have a great day!

Thank you! There are a few dentist in our area with salt water tanks also. I have always wanted to do a built in tank and this is my chance!

Thank you! Hopefully the build out goes as planned. I'm planning on doing all the setup and plumbing myself to save on cost!

If you can plan a case, bend wires, bond cleats, to create better occlusion, improve aesthetics, phonetics and function the setup and plumbing is no problem for you! I bet you can visualize the finished product in your minds eye before even cutting a pipe. Yep you have this covered. After all the DAT requires great spatial orientation does it not? And that was way before you saw your first patient. Love the pre-planning and development. Following along to learn a few things.

Trying to order my equipment slowly so I don't feel the pinch all at once! Here is a few pics of what I have for this build so far.

Lol! This will be my 5th time set up of a reef tank and 2nd time doing all PVC plumbing. I will be using grey PVC and schedule 40 fittings which I have already purchased. Thanks!

Maybe you are ready for a new career of selling and setting up reef tanks in your spare time. Lol...I know who has spare time right?

This is my current office waiting room with Oceanic 110 gallon reef aquarium. The aquarium in the new office will also be visible from the waiting room due to use of a floor-ceiling Raco glass wall and door system.

Thanks! Most of my ideas have come from similar builds on this forum!

I'll be following this one for sure!!
