Blue Z Reef Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 It has been a LONG HAUL with this build. I bought this tank about a year ago and spent forever refinishing the stand to match the trim in our house. The stand also needed some repairs as well. After all that time, I just had some movers bring it into the living room this morning. The scale of this puppy is pretty daunting now that I see it in its “final resting place”. It is a MarineLand 6x2x28” tank (210 gal I believe, which is ironically what I had a few years back just different dimensions). Hoping the setup doesn’t take another year 😂 HUGE shoutout to Confidence Moving Labor LLC for doing the move. It was surprisingly hard to find someone willing to do the move period. I felt their price was more than fair also (had some people quote me a “would be dumb not to do the job” price 🙄). Here it is! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, took a lot of work to get it to where it is now. Whole thing was sprayed, then ran really bad and had to all be sanded back down and resprayed again. I am now very happy with my decision to do white instead of leaving the oak/wood look it had before, definitely fits the room well! unfortunately our whole family has had the worst cold/flu in years so not moving fast at the moment, hoping to pickup speed again once we feel better 🤧 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obrien.david.j Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Can you move my fireplace two feet to the left, so I can grow my four foot tank to a six foot tank? Congrats, yours looks really nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we bought our house I was on the lookout for a nice spot for a tank like this and that spot worked out perfect for a 6’ tank. 20 minutes ago, The ReefBox said: Nice work Jeff!!

My son is already saying he wants to pick a fish! Now if our fam can all just get over the cold/flu we all have I could get back to work on it 🤧 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Looking sharp Jeff! I think you made a good call on that stand - blends in really well with the woodwork on the fireplace mantel. Can't wait to see it up and running! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
