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. Thank you!  When we had this tank it was up in Northern Nevada, the dry desert air more than wiped out the humidity so it was a good balance :)

  3. @the1000expert - agreed was one of my pet peeves of the tank. The video was of a new set up, a work in progress. One has to allow sea life time to grow ;)
