For sure. The replied back saying not yet available.

Well, I at least know the tank weight now. 540 is more than I thought it would weigh.

"Sorry SCH 80" might take a couple of weeks.

Already got my Red to match my reef octo skimmer and varios 8. Just need to throw in some blue or black to match my big bash Sea reactors.

I may be a bit high for the weight. I thought it was 3/4" thick glass all around, but may only be the front. So, should be a bit lighter. ;Happy

I was just about to ask the same thing! It would be better if I knew a date of arrival or at least a ballpark of when they'd ship LOL! but my LFS didn't have any info for me yesterday when I called.

Saltwaterfish.com, where I per-ordered the 750xxl, said it is supposed to ship around the 19th of June for me. But, we will see.
And I'm also dying to get it!!

I'll be surprised if that date is met. Seems like there has been some delays. Customs perhaps?

My LFS called me today and said the tank would reach them next Friday so I am picking it up on the 24th. I have a feeling next week is going to be a long one!

TX_Punisher · Jun 16, 2017

Good to know. I'm just curious how these are being delivered. CAlifornia to Houston and then to pre order lfs or straight from California to lfs's? I'm not even sure Red Sea NA in Houston has a warehouse?

Injoynit · Jun 17, 2017

I just heard back from Saltwateraquariums and they are sending the tanks out Monday on first order first send. But, this is the tank only not the deluxe models which they say AI is having problems with getting parts for the lights that come with the deluxe. So, looks like I'm going to have to wait a few more weeks for my deluxe because of AI.

TX_Punisher · Jun 17, 2017

I'll have to call today to see if they Arrived at my lfs.

Drs Foster and Smith has a great sale today on JBJ Chillers. 1/4 HP is $619.

Does anything think I'll have any space issues with 750 XXL? Manufacturers specifies that the front and rear of the chiller have at least 1 foot of clearance for airflow. 1/4 HP size is 9-3/4" x 16-1/2" x 20-7/8".

Hey Man if you haven't scored that chiller yet you might want to consider the 1/3 hp model. Ive owned several JBJ chillers over the years and though 1/4 will work the 1/3 will run less cutting down on wear and tear. Just a thought.

I thought about it, but the room that the tank will be located has very high ceilings and no other electronic devices like a TV. The room is not nearly as hot as the family room during the peak of summer.
