255 Gallon ~ Custom Salt Water Reef Fish Tank Aquarium

Salt Water Reef Project 2011 : Hubby does it again, watch this 12 hour move (not counting build time) as two 150 Gallon Salt Water Reef Aquariums are merged into one 255 Gallon Peninsula tank. Custom Built, work in progress, doors still need to be added, we may change the color too (black?) Entire tank + stand is approx 8 feet tall x 8 feet long x 3 feet wide. Estimated weight, over 2500 pounds. Glass 1/2″ on sides, 3/4″ on bottom. (Kids, do not try this at home! Unless you are on slab or have a reinforced floor!) Custom Piping with Flow Control Valves. Custom Refugium (40 gal) and Sump (40 gal). Custom Island Overflow Tube. Custom Returns Pipe with 3 Heads. Fish inventory listed at end of video; corals, assorted from Acan to Zoes…

  1. If you every want to get rid of a tank for salt water fish contact me please

  2. I am very impressed with the stand design. That overflow is awsome! How did you construct it?

  3. @daquan84 Thank you! Since it’s a Peninsula tank we could not have anything hanging off the sides, so we got an 8 inch PVC tube, cut it to the height we wanted then sliced grooves into the pipe and siliconed it into the tank. The regular overflow piping was contained right in the middle of the tube. Pulsing Xenia ended up covering the tube hiding it from view which was AWESOME! However we just sold the tank and livestock since we’re moving out of state. So, more videos in the future! :)

  4. the bottom plate is one peace? ,.. aai mine is in 4 peaces to keep the pressure good.

  5. @AweSomo84 it appears as one piece, however there is a reinforcing cross bar along the middle, the other side has shelves that are about 8 inches deep and eventually cabinet doors will be on both sides :)

  6. I wish I could see how you fit the overoverflow set up. Amazing, I like simple yet very effective!
