500 Gallon in Spring Grove PA

[500G]

Hello all. Excited to be here among fellow saltwater enthusiasts. I built my 500 Gallon tank a year and a half ago and it has been an undertaking, to say the least. I designed the tank, the whole filtration system and completed all the woodwork myself. It took many many months of planning and 18 guys to carry the glass tank in to the house. I have learned so much along the way and have lost many coral and fish but am now finally seeing the amazing results from all my hard work. I also have a 150 Gallon fish only tank that is still under construction, hope to finish that within the next few months. I will also add a huge Thanks for my amazing woman that helps me along the way, even to type this introduction up! hopefully soon I will be able to posts pics of the tank-once I figure out how to work this site

Sweet an upsidedown tank supported by a gravity well. I hope you got a patent. LOL! I like the wood working and the stain color. What are the demensions on the tank?

It is 11 ft long x 2.5 ft tall x 31 inches deep. Would have like for it to be deeper but it would not have fit through the door.

Yes to all of the above +1

That's why I suggested you start a build thread, that way people can follow along with you, and you can post everything from beginning to the (never) end.
