Back with a vengeance - 800G NetZero Reef

[danthemanj]

So, after 5 years of hiatus from the hobby, I’m finally excited to be back into the midst of it all with a vengeance. The hobby has changed a lot, from equipment to livestock to methodology. A lot of changes in the club too,

‘Happy to be back ’

Welcome back! Love the tank

 

[kschweer]

Wow! Welcome back. If you’re going to do it go big! I took a little longer break and I feel the same way. Things are so different! I want to say the biggest is no quality live rock! And the equipment is much different too.

 

[danthemanj]

To accommodate the tank, I had to build the house around it

 

[danthemanj]

Built on a foundation of 3 large steel I-beams, the tank equipment room weighs over 20,000 lbs.

This is the tank equipment room prior to finishing.

 

[danthemanj]

14 guys and a lot of muscle to the move the tank into the house and onto its stand. Tank weighed in close to 2000lbs and the stand another 800lbs. Tank dimensions are 10’ x 3‘ x 3’.

 

[kschweer]

Impressive! You’re new home is beautiful. Many years of happiness and best of luck with the tank!

Oh and let’s see the equipment room!

They did, both the tank and the frag tank. Real professional setup and built like a tank.

Awesome! They build a hell of a tank. Can be a little on the expensive side but the finished product speaks for itself. Best of luck with it!
