Hi Folks, I want to introduce myself first. My name is Dmitri and I’m a reefoholic
I’ve been in a hobby for about two years, started with a 14gal biocube some basic soft corals a pair of clown fish and a goby. I quickly upgraded to more and bigger tanks, needless to say, I was well hooked into this hobby.
Six months into it I’ve upgraded to RSM 650S all in one system. That tank was a pure joy, fantastic great size and superior quality. Looking forward year and a half, I had a system of 500 gallons mixed reef with great success in keeping both fish and sps / lps corals.
In late April of 2018, I’ve started to feel dissatisfied and needed to make major changes. I was thinking of going even bigger, this time I didn’t want to have so many tank. My vision was to have one large 1000 – 2000 gal display tank with a fish room. And so I started doing research and getting ideas what it will take to get this done.
First I needed to find big enough house and at the same time quickly sell my tanks with live stock. Moving to the new house with all live stock wasn’t an option. I had big help from our local reef club, several members help me hold my fish and corals during my moving stages.
During my search for the house, I was also getting quotes from all major manufacturers for this new tank I had envisioned. My original plan was to purchase tank after I get settled in the new house 6-12 months. However, opportunity came and I was very fortunate to have purchase tank from a local member along with most of his major filtration system. This happened while I was still scouting for a new house. Finally in the middle of July we purchase a house and tank was ready to be moved.
1000 gallon display tank
Dimensions: 130x59x31
Weight of the tank: 2500lbs
Custom made, euro bracing, low iron display with 1” glass all around. Double glass 2” on the bottom with plywood attached.
This is an image of the tank from original owner when it was first delivered to him.
And so this journey begins.
