Almost 11 foot long tank!

Jeremy Blaze · 03/07/2007, 08:33 AM

I am going to start a big of a thread for this tank. It belongs to a good friend of mine who is internet challenged. I have been helping with the design, set up, etc...

Tank is a glass cages, 10ft 10"x24"x24" It will have two overflow boxes on the back.

Sump is going to be custom built, and will be 6ftx16"x16"

This will be a reef tank, with lots of fish. Stand will be finished this week, and we are expecting the tank next week.

He had a 125 that all livestock will be transfered from, as well as a lot of new stuff!

Pics to come soon.

You know how people feel about not having pics in a thread and just giving us a tease?

Jeremy Blaze · 03/07/2007, 09:31 AM

I know, I know, but nothing is here to get pics of yet! I just wanted to make everyone get excited!

TandN · 03/07/2007, 10:12 AM

why only 24" ?

Jeremy Blaze · 03/07/2007, 10:22 AM

I think cost had a lot to do with that.

scrager · 03/07/2007, 10:29 AM

so it's a 10 foot tank, not almost 11

picky i know, but if it was like 10'10" you could say 'almost 11', but it's 10, so why not say 10' tank?

Umm, if you read the post, I said it is 10'10"x24"x24", so it is almost 11ft.

King-Kong · 03/07/2007, 10:51 AM

lol

scrager · 03/07/2007, 10:54 AM

oh, my eyes skipped over the 10ft

when i see 10", i expect the feet to be in the same notation: 10'10"

my bad, i appologize

Jeremy Blaze · 03/07/2007, 12:55 PM

No worries. I guess I should say, 130"x24"x24"

KenT · 03/07/2007, 01:44 PM

Depending on what he is going to keep, the only possible downside would be additional lighting, and extra equipment for water movement.

I love the idea of a long tank. Plenty of cruising room for fish, and room for a aquascaping.

thor32766 · 03/07/2007, 01:52 PM

keep us posted that is the exact tank i was thinking of upgrading to for my tangs to have tons of swimming room.

Jeremy Blaze · 03/07/2007, 01:55 PM

The tank will have 3 islands of rock, center will be acros, outside ones with be mixed.

There will be several tangs, a school of anthias, a group of lubbocks, a pair of maroon clowns, etc...

I just talked to him and he was staining the stand, so I will try to get pics of it soon.

Jeremy Blaze · 03/07/2007, 01:55 PM

Water movement is what concerns me right now.

Shnabbles · 03/07/2007, 02:09 PM

pack that sucker with some tunze, and/or a couple closed loops

OnlyCrimson · 03/07/2007, 07:12 PM

Wave box and extension + some steams. Or you could just to a closed loop.

Goldleaf Reef · 03/08/2007, 01:14 PM

Dayum.......

what are you going to do with a almost 11 footer. That's a nice size tank. What is your plans for 'scaping ?

A Reef Scene · 03/08/2007, 02:53 PM

Use a OM with the 1-3, 2-4 pattern and a dart pump. Works Great .

erics3000 · 03/17/2007, 02:33 AM

Sounds interesting.. Cant wait to see some pics...

Jeremy Blaze · 03/17/2007, 07:24 AM

Sorry for the delay. The tank should be in next week. Pics to come I promise!

Jeremy Blaze · 03/17/2007, 08:17 AM

Alphabet · 03/17/2007, 10:31 PM

BTW it is closer to 11' than to 10', so i think its fair to say "almost 11 feet" and standard glass comes in sheets of 130" i am pretty sure that is why he opted to go for a that size, if you want it bigger it is special order and a lot more money, at least where I'm from. I would have gone the same route. 2" is hardly worth the money, just to say it is 11 feet.

Looking forward to some pictures
