My 500G Osama Reef arrived Nov 12 2014

[Osama]

I will start today with a series of pictures of my tank build process and take a look at how it looks at present
This is a 500g designed purchased and installed by professionals. I just play with the rocks corals and live stock.
Tank dimensions are 130"X30"X31"

Tank and Equipment in the shop



Tank arrival pictures
Picture 1 is tank support framing with three all glass tanks. Each is 65g: Middle is main sump, right is refugium, left is a frag tank


Picture 2 moving the tank itself . Had to take the FR sliding doors off to get tank in


Picture3: Tank on it's stand with plumbing in base assembled in shop

Filling the 500 gallons

Few pictures during the filling of the tank on Nov 17th and beginning of aquascaping



Live Rock combined large pieces of dry rock from FL. that were placed in the center section of the tank
If I were to do another tank I would do all or mostly all using dry roch. No hitchhikers to worry about



Meanwhile I had LR and dry rock curing in my old 150g sump in the basement
