Blackhawk's Rimless starfire 120g with 40g breeder sump build

[blackhawks423]

Just picked up my 120g rimless today, this thing is a monster, has to be over 450lbs of pure starfire glass goodness. Glass is 3/4" thick, and starfire all around. Many more pics and updates on the way.

Sorry Jay.. It was a crazy filled day, had to take the metra to the NW burbs, drive down to oswego to pick up the tank, and this took a little creativity to get into my dads truck, then same shenanigans back in the city at my place. Finally just cleaned everything up a bit and im BEAT!

Well, I was able to get the tank up on the stand and start putting in some fresh live sand. I have a good amount of the sand in, and about 15 gallons of water. Still trying to figure out how my floor is going to hold this 2000lbs+.

Here are a few pics for updates...View attachment 5554View attachment 5555View attachment 5556

I know placement isnt ideal, but unfortunately with the weight of the tank and it being on the 2nd floor, it will have to do. Sorry about the washed out flash pics too :/ View attachment 5557View attachment 5558

Nice tank! Where did you buy it from if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Jason R]

I'd make sure you address the floor question before you add live rock or water. I'd also think twice about putting it in front of a window because of potential heat/draft issues. Other than that it looks great!

For a tank less than 200 gallons, I highly doubt that along a load-bearing wall, let alone the corner of two, that there would be any issue. And he said the tank was perpendicular to the floor joists as well, so it'll be fine.
