Hey Scott, Does this container have the parts that I wanted also?
On my other project, the tank estimate (tank and stand) came in at 37,000.00. I really would like to put a RE sump on here. Do we have any sumps at all at the Florida facility that I can try to make work? I am going to work with the carpenter to get the width that I need in the cabinet. I have resolved the length issues.

Your items are included in the container shipment. No Dreamboxes currently at the Florida facility and there are no dreamboxes for our inventory on this shipment. Worse case, once you figure out exactly what you want in terms of a Dreambox for that system, we will have you place a new order with Germany so they can get that going for you.

Is there anyone who has bought one of these and had it shipped to your local airport and picked up from there that I can PM some questions about that process to?

It should be pretty simple for you. Just track the shipment through the carrier. They should be able update you about the airline, flight number and even customs status once it arrives at the airport. Once it clears customs, you would pick it up at the airline freight counter at the airport. Typically the freight pickup is outside the airport. The carrier who is handling the transport from Germany to your airport should be able to advice you of the location as should the airline that the sump is being shipped with. Customs will also have your number on the paperwork should be there any issues.

Do you think its much cheaper that way? I really really want a dreambox but the shipping quote I received was around $2500.

I'm in the process of picking it up. I was charged $350 shipping from RE and just found out the freight forwarder they used is going to charge me another $180 to get it when it's ready later this afternoon. Sucks that I didn't expect having to dish out another $180 but still way cheaper than the price you just mentioned. My dreambox is one of the smaller ones though. Not sure what size you are looking at though

I bet that $180 was local state duties or taxes.. Different states have different import fees or taxes from my understanding. Keep us posted. Looking forward to seeing that thing in your home..

Customs didn't charge me at all. This was a un-crating fee and warehouse transfer fee from the carrier to the forwarder. Sounds like BS to me but what ever

I pinged Germany about that to see what that's all about. Will let you know what I find out. When are you supposed to pick it up?

I just brought it home and unloaded it. I borrowed a truck to pick it up so I have to take that back first before I can totally unwrap it. I can tell you that is the best packaged thing I have ever bought. There was at least 6-8" of thick bubble wrap around everything. I'll post pics in about an hour in a half when I get back.

That shipping g price is a steal. Take lots of pics and prepare to be blown away. Be careful cutting through the bubble wrap so you don't scratch the dreambox.

Oh I cut this thing open like I was a surgeon! Not 1 scratch on it, it's perfect.

So yes, this thing is a work of art! It was a very long day getting it and was more of a pain than I hoped but it was worth it. It's so awesome in person. The skimmer is HUGE! I have a pic of it next to a 10# bottle for my calcium reactor and it dwarfs it! I had no idea how big it would be in person. It's hard to capture the look of the seams on a phone but I love the overall look. I'm cutting the right wall for the stand still and the left one is still unpainted but they will be recessed inside the frame and painted white to go with the theme. I'm going to leave the back and fronts open. The style of the dreambox sets the inside of the stand off. I've got the new Geosreef calcium reactor on its way and his new style is white/clear acrylic so that will add too it. Behind the sump is a 29g tank for my ATO res, to the right will be my lifereef refugium. Too bad that's black. I might move the CaRx up front to show it off more and put the five behind it. Return pump is a Vectra L1 and it fits nicely in case anyone was wondering.

Anyway here are some pics:









This pic shows I had them cut a few more power cord slits for heaters and ATO wires in return section.

Good god!!!! VERY FRICKEN NICE!!! I bet you were like a kid in a candy store.. I know I would be! Seeing this makes me jealous if you can believe that. I wish I had the space to get one of these below my tank but my doors won't permit it with 5000 pounds of tank above it. I told you it would be worth it though.. Absolutely beautiful!

They pack those things like a coffin. Pretty crazy isn't it?? I am so happy for you. Having been communicating with you for so long and living vicariously through your wait, I am really glad it came to a very happy and climactic ending or should I say beginning. You have been very patient and I am just happy you're happy. Congratulations man!! I can't wait to see this come together!!

I got one of the drain lines dry fitted. What do you guys think? Does it look too restrictive?
