So
Planning now begins

New tank
8.5 x 4.7 x 2.3 ( built in house on site)
Sump
7 x 3 x 2.2 (on site )

Star fire peninsular

Skimmer - deltec sc2561
Light - 3 giesmsnn 8 x 54w
Flow - closed loop weir end with Vectra & 3 x 200 gyres viewing end

All gear sold with this tank so have to start all new only thing left is
Debate uv
Fish
Corals
Rock

So we are now curing some dead rocks we've gathered over the last 9 months
And will measure our new tank on table tennis table to scape
The middle rock structure in current tank will be the centre piece of the new tank

Black tape on floor is final measurements

Well done on the sale. Look forward to the build......

Insane, can't wait to see it up and running!

 

[ReeferRob]

You know you're going to go bigger, get it over with now. :D My engineer said that the largest he'd feel safe making is 4m x 1.5m x 75cm tall that's all with 30mm glass.

 

[Sam Parker]

That's how you make a big tank look small, wow!

Looking forward to the progress and the switch over journey :)

 

[MagicJ]

Is this going to be the last upgrade, or is there still more to come :p

For goodness sake. NO
Last one ever ever ever !!!

i can't believe you have sold that tank and find it more incredible you are going again from scratch.
Good luck with the next one.

i didn't word that well... but providing suitably sized homes to growing fish is important. i look at my naso and foxface now and wonder if they are ok in my aquarium given their sizes now. i don't have the ability to increase the size of my aquarium though... you are an extraordinary woman Lesley and I love your vision and dedication to this hobby.

 

[Andrew B]

That is going to one huge tank!!! Cant wait to see it progress and develop :D

 

[ezza]

You could learn to scuba dive in that tank!
