!!!7000+ POUNDS OF GLASS!! YOU GUYS UP FOR A BUILD OR WHAT??

[GK3]

This reminds me a lot of the 29 gallon build I am working on right now. Our sumps were almost the same size, but since Petco has the $1/gal sale, I went with a standard 20L. I was thinking of adding a bunch of concrete to support mine too. But then a told my golden retriever to sit and stay on the spot where it would go. After 5 minutes I knew the concrete was unnecessary. You could probably find like 400 or so golden retrievers to simulate the 30,000lbs yours is going to weigh. You may not need all that extra support. Oh, Where did you get that crane from? I asked my property manager if I'd be allowed to hoist mine through my balcony window, but then he just helped me carry it into the elevator. I also thought about housing a whale in mine, but my LFS can't get them. Is yours able to order one for you?

All jokes aside, awesome build. I wish I had place for a much larger tank. Excited to see what it looks like in the end.

Can Do!

Tanks were delivered next and stored in the garage till the drywall was complete. Six 130" x 48" x 12" tanks and they look awesome. Built exactly to the specs I designed. Made with 3/4 " glass and about 900 lbs each!

Say what you will about Glass Cage, but I have had over 15 custom tanks made by them over the years, and have always been completely happy. Had an unfortunate quirk with the sump they made, but I really couldn't put it on them. Tanks sat here in a literal construction zone for a couple months, and as much as I tried to keep them safe the sump was damaged at some point unfortunately. Could have been worse.

man I hope there's some serious supports under that floor lol, very cool.

 

[revsgirl]

Whoa!!

 

[pickupman66]

Glass Cages never let me down personally. I had a custom sump from them and a Sherman Tank of a 180 as well. I have been fortunate to have moved 2 180 gallon tanks made by them. NEVER AGAIN. lawdy those things are hefty.

Indeed there is. There's some details on the beams back on page 4 if your interested in having a good look.

This is ******!!!! I have a feeling when these systems are up and running people will probably fly there just to check it out

 

[reef80]

I like to be your next door neighbor...but I wonder what your neighbors are wondering...all that glass in the attic...nuts man!!!

Ok.. this build seems to be missing something very important.

Where is the Battle Brush storage area?

Might be why hes releasing the photos after the process instead of during.
