I will be chronicling the construction of a custom installation in this blog as the job progresses. The tank is to be built in-wall, with an office on one side and the entertainment room on the other. The dimensions of the tank are 52" x 36" x 36" high, and the total system volume should be around 350 gallons.
The first picture is the rough opening where the tank will be located, viewed from the office side.
This picture is a custom steel stand, that has been galvanized to hold up to the salty moisture better. The stand rests directly on the concrete slab, and will be leveled before installation of the tank.
Lastly, we have a close up of the electrical rough in, for under the aquarium. You can see a large white PVC pipe, that is a drain line, to be used for partial water changes. Next to this, you can see a small copper pipe, that will feed the reverse osmosis filter for top off for evaporation.More to come.
