AcanLord's 500 Gallon Grow Out Peninsula Build....

I went with the stain color Bombay Mahogany and it turned out really well. Nice dark red tint to it and with the high gloss it really shines.

Love this! Nice work!

Do you have a picture of the tank yet?

The tank is sitting in my garage in a crate. I've been working through different ways to efficiently support the floor without getting crazy and going overboard. Here is what we have come up with.

Frame painted and ready for its walnut face fame. This is completely dry and has a nice gloss look.

We just had a structural engineer out last week for our 336G which is currently being built. It's worth while for the peace of mind and experience to pay one to come out in my opinion. Not worth finding out after you got it loaded with corals and fish that you didn't account for this factor or that.

Looking good by the way and following!

Couldn't agree with you more! Thanks for the feedback. Chances are the tank would start to go through the floor while mother is over to take a look at it...

Here are a couple updates on the system. First of all, thank you to everyone who helped lift this puppy onto the stand. It was only about 750lbs of glass. It was a great time getting togeather with my fellow reef nerds!

Also, funny story. I was 1 guy short for the tank move as someone who had planned to help dropped out due to an unexpected call in from work. Minutes later, I got a call from a gentleman named Mark who introduced himself as the new Custom Aquariums National Accounts Manager. He had mentioned to me that he heard through the grapevine that we had recently purchased an aquarium from them and wanted see if he could help us get it up and going. That's customer service!! Long story short, we were blessed with Mark's presence and we're both impressed with his knowledge of what the company has to offer. I am very appreciative of his willingness to drive 2 hours to get us going! Here is a picture of Mark on the right, and myself on the left.

Following along, can't wait until it's stocked.

Also, I keep meaning to come check out your base of operations.

Looks awesome!! Tank review?

I can't say enough for the quality of craftsmanship that went into the tank. Their patented aluminum edge is very nice and solid. I will never worry about something springing a leak. They also sent it in $100s worth of crate materials. There is enough lumber here to build a new stand. I would never worry about them shipping a large tank. Here is a pic of he corner and the removable center brace.

Might just have to order a tank from them! Thank you. How thick is the glass?
