cpu933k May 14, 2018 Share May 14, 2018 Did I read that correctly? $400 for the tank, cabinet, and canopy? Wow, what a steal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AquaHaus May 15, 2018 Author Share May 15, 2018 (edited) Did I read that correctly? $400 for the tank, cabinet, and canopy? Wow, what a steal! Yea, so disclaimer....I purchased the tank with a small chip (guys call it a clamshell) on the bottom of the tank. I assumed that I would be making the purchase just for the beautiful custom stand and canopy and have to replace the tank, fortunately for me the tank held fresh water for a week outside, then a week inside up on the stand. I would never trust this situation if it were for a client, but for my single level concrete slab house, I was (am) willing to take the risk. Got a coincidental call from Coast to Coast Aquariums, they were reaching out because they found my maintenance business on instagram and and are interested in starting a relationship for new builds. Chris at C2C said this was at least a $10k steal. Both sides and end are 3/4” starphire come on mannn! He said the canopy alone was over $1400 on the invoice.

AquaHaus May 15, 2018 Author Share May 15, 2018 Got my plumbing done on the frag system yesterday and got water moving. Still up in the air with what I will do for lights, probably a ceiling mounted 5ft aquatic life T5 hybrid with 3 xr15’s.
