BOB CLARK (bwclark) > This is the design phase of the project.  A Tenecor custom acrylic 300 gallon aquarium with stand/cabinet, the 30" H aquarium; and lights/canopy on top of the aquarium.
BOB CLARK (bwclark) > Total weight of about 3000 lbs.  Floor is 2 1/2" - 3" thick with 6 x 6 rough cut redwood beams and 2 x 8 rough cut redwood joists.
Added 4 x 6 with dual post/pier supports at one end.  Opposite end has forced air pipe in the way so none added except a 4 x 6 located to the far left 2 x 8.
BOB CLARK (bwclark) > Dual Reeflo Marlin pumps provide two independent flow systems.  Each pump's water is routed thru two Ocean Clear mechanical filters, two "carbon tubes" for biological filtration, and then back to the tank.  One carbon tube has some water diverted to two Ultraviolet sterilizers.

BOB CLARK (bwclark) > Water movement will be accomplished with installed pumps to drain water from tank to sewer drain, and fill water to tank from makeup water tank(60g) in laundry room.  Laundry room also has a 40g fresh water tank for top off due to evaporation.

A 50g tank in the dinning room is also setup for quarantine purposes and will connected to the above piping for same water drain/fill method.
All water for aquariums is supplied by a 180g/day dual membrane Reverse Osmosis/De-Ionized filtration system.
BOB CLARK (bwclark) > The acrylic tank is complete and sitting in the production facility at maker Tenecor, Phoenix.
The black object on the left side is an overflow (weir) that takes surface water to the filtration system.  Also note holes towards the bottom center of the tank for outlets/inlets.
Two 3/4" pvc pipes along the top length of the tank(above the water surface & out of view) will provide water inlet to the tank with good surface agitation for CO2/O2 exchange.
BOB CLARK (bwclark) > Laminate covering color for cabinet and canopy.
BOB CLARK (bwclark) > SpectraPure Reverse Osmosis Deionization System(RODI).  This is a dual membrane unit rated at 180g/day.  Sits adjacent to the washing machine for ease of drain waste water or to 7-30g storage containers on porch.  Waste water is about 4 times RODI water in volume so it is valuable to keep and use as it is fine for washing machine use, garden/plant/bush use.
This is the design phase of the project. A Tenecor custom acrylic 300 gallon aquarium with stand/cabinet, the 30" H aquarium; and lights/canopy on top of the aquarium.
