Yet another ZooDiver build thread (Shark display)

[Zoodiver]

A set up like this would be in the area of half a million. All of the work is 'in house' - so it really cuts back on costs.

How much of that would be glass? I'm guessing 40% +- 10%?

 

[Zoodiver]

The acrylic, rock/coral inserts and life support are about 1/3 of the cost each. The stand is the 'cheap' part.

very stunning tank

Thanks. Added about 600 fish yesterday to fill it in again. The nurse shark has been picking off grunts a few at a time, and the population was getting thin.
Added 4 species of grunts, two species of parrotfish (all over 12"), Atlantic blue tangs (big adults), a few jacks, a couple more squirrelfish and some ocean surgeons. Display is a little cloudy today, but should clear up by tomorrow. Did a pair of 1,000 gallon water changes on it over the past 24 hours.

Couple of new pics since the fish were added. Looks a lot better at this activity level.
