Beautiful build, and gorgeous apartment! Did you have to get any special permissions for such a large tank? I know many reefers have issues with landlords over tank size. Also did you have to add any structural support? I'm just picturing the conversation asking the downstairs neighbors to add some floor Jacks in the middle if their living room hahaha
Thank you very much
No permission needed but I did alert the building administration about it, also, I bought insurance to over any damages for the apartment and the building itself, just imagine what 300 gallons of saltwater would do not only to my apartment but the elevator cables and mechanism as well as neighboring apartment too. The insurance covers everything if something happens *knock on wood that it doesn't, lol.
All floor is a concrete slab, and the tank it's sitting over a big joist.
Very, very, nice! Looking to do a peninsula build for my next tank. Following. Cheers!
Thank you and nice to have you tag along.
Wow! Amazing build!!!
I'm still wrapping my head around that much water in an apartment but you did your due diligence.
Looking forward to seeing more!
Thank you!, believe me, when I was filling the tank I was really nervous, one thing is engineers telling you there is no problem and another thing is actually doing it.
What an amazing thread, I can't wait to see more! And as
@ReefQueen said your apartment and tank are beautiful!! What do you plan to stock it with? Do you have any pictures of your 1000 gal? PLEASE keep posting.
Thank you very much
This is a wish fish list, of course, not all of these fish are going in, I want to keep the 5 gallon per inch of fish rule, maybe I can lower it to 3 gallons per inch as it depends as well as how much filtering my equipment can handle.
This is an amazing build! We are thrilled you chose to join us and share! Can't wait for more updates!
Thank you Rev, I'm really happy to be here
Amazing, in Guatemala? I Would love to have one of this in Nicaragua.
Thanks Jorge,
Most impressive build I think I've ever seen! Awesome, thanks for sharing!!
Very kind words, thank you
Very nice build! A few turbo snails will clean that cycle algae right up.
Thank you, and yes, I'm thinking of adding at least 12 of them and maybe other different types as well. Hopefully tomorrow I will add some CUC to the tank.
@JPSika08 nice clean build....
I was wondering how you fix those wooden side panel and doors to the metal stand....actually I am thinking about doing the same so need a detail idea about it
Great question, when planning the building I was trying to figure out how to approach this problem, I divided each side with three doors, each door has 4 Speaker magnets, one on each corner attached to them, I made a small hole in the middle of the magnet and screw them to the wood, they work really well adhering to the metal frame, the front door is like this as well.
Juan, glad to see you on Reef2Reef! Been following your build on another forum. Its an amazing build for sure. Pro job!
Cheers!
Nice to see you here Kman, thank you very much for your kind words.
Amazing setup! Please don't stop the pictures flow
Thank you, I will keep putting more pictures as I go along
