might have already been said, but who made this tank and what size is the viewing window? Massive!

Tank is made by Waterdog Products and the viewing window is 163"x68" and is 2 1/2" thick seamless

Once all filtration and 1000 gallon water change tank is installed it will fill the entire garage. The tank is only viewable from inside the house, I will remove the protective wrapping from acrylic after all construction is done. There is no reason for it to be viewable from inside the garage area or you would also see the garage when you looked from inside the living room area. All large museum size tanks are made of fiberglass with a viewable front window to keep cost down. This size tank in all acrylic would have cost 90,000-120,000 for the tank only. This type tank in fiberglass cost around half that for tank only.

Yea looks just like a typical public aquarium type setup.

Now is there going to be a trickle/drip system? How is the saltwater makeup going to be done?

There will be a large sump, with built in bio-tower, proteim skimmer, chiller, UV system and another ultima II filter. We will run three 1/2hp 10,000gph pumps two for returns and one for protein skimmer. Chiller and UV will have a 5000gph pump that will return into sump only. There will also be a large RO system and a 800 gallon vat/tank to mix salt for water changes.

Nice. Looks like you guys are in good shape.

It will be great to see a saltwater tank of this magnitude.
