Here is what i did today. we started the build on our new lagoon. approx volume will be just over 750 gallons when all is said and done.
For the last few weeks we have been getting ready to build this tank. First we had to start by walling in the garage, i ran all new insulation, electrical and drywall. then we put down an epoxy floor cover and installed a drain. All that was finished this past week so today I started the build.
tank specs
The lagoon is 15'x2'x3',
the sump will be 100 gallons,
Lighting 6 250 radium halides
DIY reflectors (very much like EliteIII's)
3 gallaxy ballast
2x reeflo 6000 black fin pumps
2x euroreef skimmer
Chiller ??
4 20 amp dedictated breakers
16 outlets
6 switches
Below are the pics of what i built today.
finished most of the stand but i still need to add a few braces and 3/4" plywood bottom and sides. I will post more pics tomorrow once i do more. as always i have already way over built this stand. load capacity of the stand when done should be more then 15000 pounds. the tank should not weight any more then around 7000. I figure better safe then sorry
