1000 Gallon 3D Hole in the wall

[Harlequinmania]

Starting this new thread to share the new tank build of my system.

 

Idea / concept of setup

After all the years in the hobby reefing from a small 2 ft tank, to a current 6ft tank in my home. It has always been a dream to have a beautiful large reef tank in my dream home surrounded by garden and natural. Luckily , I am able to fulfill this dream in the early stage of life with the support of my family and friends.

The concept of having a dedicated Fish room is something many reef addicts like me always dream of, and the opportunity of turning this crazy idea into a reality strike when we got our new place.

While searching around on the internet for some ideal, and inspiration of my new setup I came about this photo of a 3D wall mount aquarium and it strike me to have a similar concept on my new tank.

 

So the story begin lol…

 

Some specification of my new setup


Main Tank : 72" X 48" x 30 " ( 6ft x 4ft x 2.5ft ) - Plexiglas

If possible, the valves can be electronically controlled. push of buttons to open and close the return and supply lines valves. punch in valve angle to control the ball valve angle. Auto water change.

Why not that fantastic? I thought aquamedic is something awesome.

Never consider schuran? I'll feel.schuran despite being a very old brand but the design fits a big tank.
