Thanks for the add. I've been wanting a large saltwater aquarium since I was a kid but never got around to get one. Funny thing is that I design and build custom water features, including koi ponds, for a living. Same nitrogen cycle as the biological systems I design and build so I guess the time to set up the aquarium I've always wanted has finally arrived.

I'm just setting it up and getting parts I'm still short on (protein skimmer, overflow box, etc.) I'll be looking to you guys for advice here and there as I make my way through the dosing aspect of having an aquarium as this type of water chemistry is not within my wheelhouse.

Well, go big or go home, right? 560 gallon tank @ 3' W x 2.5' H x 10' L. Pray for me. Lol!

Welcome home, you will love it here!

I’ve been looking desperately for a 10-12 foot used acrylic tank for months and gave up for a patio project instead. I’m jealous!

Keep us posted with your build with lots of photos! Be sure to start a build thread in the Monster Tanks forum.

That makes 2 of us. I keep telling myself what I tell my clients, "patience is the key to success". But now I understand why so many of them ignore me when I say that. Lol!
