I know in your "Current Tank Description" info you state that you're building a 1,300 gallon reef, but is this the estimated volume within the tank itself or the overall system?

Awesome design regardless!

jhentr · 08/16/2013, 07:20 AM

Awesome. Can't wait for the next phase!

FernandoReef · 08/16/2013, 07:49 AM

This tank is up and running already!
I would post the link if Daniel doesn't mind!

I've been following this tank for so long, it's the real dream tank! Congratulations Daniel!

Hello Oiva,

Yes my friend, when I start the project one of my biggest worry is the weight of the reef!!!!!! Just the glass will weight at least 1200 Kgs = 2.666 lb!!!!!

Thank`s

Good to hear from you my friend!!!!!! I hope that one day you can come here in Jau - my city - to know my project!!!!!!

Hello Guys,

More updates!!!!!

This week we started the painting of the fish room and "broke our head" to perform the design of the movable structure of the aquarium. It is a structure stainless steel made (because of the sea air) that me allow to have access to the aquarium from the front of the reef, ie, this structure will move one meter out through a gate motor. We also have built a sort of cap, where the fixtures will be supported and in a manner that I can regulate the level that I want theses fixtures, ie, higher or lower, also powered by a gate engine. This week I also got the glass tank`s of the fish room of the aquarium and for this project I am so thankful to my good friend Cyro Riskalla!!!!

Fish Room - Inside View

Stainless steel structure Automated with Gate Engine

Thank`s for all!!!!

Daniel Prado · 08/16/2013, 02:40 PM
