Hey Everyone, recently my business partner and I opened a shop in Georgetown, Ky and we're finally getting the chance to put in our broodstock tank. This wont be the fastest build because I spend most of time at the shop and due to the space limitations there this tank will be in another location. The tank is 108"L x 36"H x 36"W and the best way I can describe it is a dual peninsula style. The two overflows are on each end with 2 -2" drains and 2 - 1" returns. I believe this tank was originally designed to be used with a surge system of some sort to handle a ton of flow. View attachment 756663
We decided to make the tank a room divider that will be surrounded with a custom skirt built out of salvaged barn wood. It just so happens that the tank was the perfect dimensions to fit between the columns of a catwalk that runs across the second story. Additionally, the tank will have a bar across the front end for guest to sit and enjoy the view up-close with a drink in their hand if they so choose. Here are a few pictures to give you a better idea of what I'm rambling on about.

The tank will be plumbed to the basement where we will be using a 180 gallon sump, as well as, a 200 gallon trough for our coral propagation needs. Hopefully, we'll be able get the ball rolling on the plumbing this week. Once we get in all the equipment in I will share our equipment list. We'll update this build as often as possible. Thanks for spending the time reading our post!
