It's around 6ft deep, 12ft front to back and 8.5ft wide.

The walls are concrete using insulated concrete forms, with a fibreglass coating

I have a picture from inside, before we took the wall down for the window into the house

You took this Forum to another level as far as big aquariums! So how does the conversation even begin when you ask your significant other if you can turn the spare bedroom into an aquarium? Just asking seriously, Cause I have a spare bedroom!

Bedroom will be tricky, garage was much easier

A few random ones for you, no particular order. I really need to get a full write up done with a time line

This was handy for the base, the walls were all mixed by hand, 5 tons.... That was a tricky day

Sump room, with various QT setups.

Still a bit of work to finish that all off

I'm considering a similar build so if you get some time I'd be interested in finding out how big of a protein skimmer you're using what you're doing to remove nitrates(too much water to do 30% water changes) and what kind of circulation do you have
