 |  New 450 gallon set up
I have recently started a new 450 gallon set up and I would like to share some pictures. The tank is a glass tank measuring L96"xW 36"xH 30" with two corner overflow boxes. It weighed in around 1200+ pounds and took 12 people to safely carry it in.I used sections of PVC to roll the tank closer to the doorway.Here is a couple of tank move pictures......

Here it is at the three month mark.
It currently is lit by only two 250 watt 12000K
Coralvue bulbs for the break in period.
I will soon be switching over to 5 x 400 watt bulbs.  | |

The tank is on a slab and I used flex PVC
to work my way over and down to
the sump in the basement.
I plan on adding some lighting for the fuge today.  | |

Some plumbing pics. I now have built a small bench around the PVC to hide the plumbing as it enters the wall to the basement  | |

Here is an early picture with a better view of the stand.
Every other stud was tripled up. as well as all four corners. The top,sides and back are sheathed in 3/4" plywood.  | |
