DDiver's 300g/Restaurant Build

[DDiver]

Floor drain and water supply pipe for RO have been laid.Other than that not much to update as we are waiting for building permit to start the framework.

[DDiver]

Lighting plans have changed yet again...I was offered a deal I couldn't refuse on 2 Powermodule fixtures that I'll supplement with 2 60" Reefbrite strips.

Those pics make it look so much smaller than it is. Your tank is huge in person!!!! I can't wait to help with the deliver or pickup. Either way I really want what some Thai.

I think we need to have a stand building/ tank setting up at the restaurant while we sample your menu?

Just a thought

I stopped by AA/IC this weekend and saw your tank whilst browsing corals. I'm literally across the street (and new to the area, kinda bored till the weather warms up too) so if you need a hand moving the thank or setting it up or whatever give me holler.

By far one of the best pumps, the new one for the second system just arrived Saturday, can't wait to get it up and running, Have fun!

[DDiver]

Sorry for the lack of updates everyone.We had some permitting issues that halted all work for a few weeks but everything is back on track now.

 

The stand and canopy is basically framed out.Electrical is 90% completed.

 

 

For height reference..

 

Sump fits in there with less than an inch to spare...thank God!

[Omair]

Impressive, can't wait to see what you do with this build!

[Origami]

The tank is coming along nicely. But I'm interested in the food. When is the Grand Opening, Billy?

Nice to see those pics on the computer screen vs my phone Billy...you definitely will need that big ladder and possibly snorkel gear for maintenance from time to time!! LOL Good thing for sure you had them add side access vs all from rear!
