New Tank Set Up
The project started in
2004 and it has been a very long and complicated process. The tank
is measured 12 foot wide 8 foot long and 5 foot and 10 inches tall.
It is service by a 8 foot long, 5 foot wide and 3 foot deep sump. A
1200 gallon geothermal tank provides an additional temperature
control. The tank is constructed by Water Dog, and is made of
fiberglass sidings with three side viewing. The viewing panel is
made of 4 separated pieces of starphire glass and laminated
together. The tank sits on a 14" thick concrete platform, and
another 13 inches of concrete below the platform.
A room is built after
the tank was installed. The roof is made of 1" starphire glass to
allow maximum sun light penetration. An additional 6 one thousand
watt metal halide and PC provides additional lightings.
