180 Gallon Soft Coral Reef on Stone Stand

By Tom Lang

Connie’s 125 gallon glass reef aquarium sprung a leak! After several attempts to repair it, she and her husband decided to upgrade to a brand new complete 180 gallon acrylic aquarium from Aquarius Aquarium, Inc. as part of their planned re-do of their home’s grand two-story entry foyer.

The challenge was to move all the existing fish, rock, coral and anemones from the old tank into the new tank. This required time for the new tank to be built and shipped, time to assemble all the equipment several days ahead of the scheduled move and a lot of patience catching delicate fish and invertebrates, but our crew pulled it off without a single loss of life.

The stonework on the wall is real stone, while the panels covering their new steel stand are lightweight, faux stone look-alikes.

We think you’ll agree that the end result is spectacular!
