Lets hope for no more delays. How are the corals going to arive? By truck like the tank. or can this be shipped? I know it's not one massive piece so it can fit into the tank but is it small enough to be shipped or does it need it's own truck? Hows the filtration comming? anything new

Well here is update, Corals are all installed and tank if filling as we speak. My camera battery was dead so no pictures tonight but I will be back there tomorrow to get everything running and take pictures for sure. The corals came on flatbed truck just like the tank in 3 huge wooden crates they were 8ftx4ftx6ft high and weight was 2000 lbs each we unloaded them with my machine. Picture tomorrow tank is incredible so many corals looks beautiful.

The main coral piece was 12ft long x 5ft high x 2ft wide, it was like a big puzzle it broke apart into 9 smaller pieces that 2-4 people could safely lift into the tank and then they were all put back together. All smaller pieces were alot easier to get in there. The worst part was breaking down the wood crates and all styroafoam and taking it to landfill in 4 trucks at one time.

Assuming they are hollow like I'm used to.... did they remember to drill holes to let the air escape? Nothing worse than neutrally weighted exhibit works being pushed around my sharks.
