That's amazing John. I can't wait to see the finished product...I'll be glued to that webcam.

I appologize if you answered this question already, but what sort of upgrades to filtration do you have to do for the 10,000 gallon?

starting point

1) one well filtered 5000
2) one well filtered 2400
3) super bio filtration from above

so going to 10000 gal i believe one additional 100 gpm filter......is needed

C'mon John, show me a plan. A drawing, anything.
I'm confused as to where this is going. I thought you were going to take the front off the old tank and extend it forwards, making a big "L" shape, but you seemed to have dem'd the old tank completely.... Help me out here!
That is one serious cutter by the way! I just started in the building trade this year, and I ain't seen ANYTHING like that!

when its all done we will take off the left wall of the 5000 and connect the old with the new to make one big 10000.

the new is going where the 2400 was ........
