Really looking forward to following your journey, equipment,lights, flow rates etc. You are going to have a lot of fun

[@TreasureCorals]

Thank you Andy.

[@AquaticPolyps]

Looking forward to this build .. I can't wait til the day I can get a big aquarium like this.

[@ArrickthaRed]

Ha I was close. I said everything the 7 or 8 foot. Kinda hedged my bet. I knew it was going to be bigger than the Pragmatic Reef though. I wanted this tank but went custom and a foot shorter. My tank is in my basement and the tank would have fit but not the stand. I contacted WaterBox and I could not get the stand unassembled or even partially assembled so I went custom and had a custom stand made so I could put it together myself. I know you must be excited. I also know when you got it up there in the back of your mind you were like what did I do. Video does not do it justice. You have to see it sitting in your house to understand how big it actually is. So happy gor you. It's gonna be awesome.

Love the tank, great choice. Have fun, the journey will certainly be an experience. Good fortune to you with your endeavor. Looking forward to future videos.

[@TreasureCorals]

Really appreciate your kind words. This is definitely the most challenging project I've ever embarked on.

[@ahmetmutlu3779]

exciting series. I am just begin this tank series. tank is awesome.

[@photographyinflight4183]

This is going to be fun. Thanks for sharing brother. Reef on!

[@TreasureCorals]

Thank you! Appreciate your kind words!

[@MW-ut3dk]

I want to see what you did to REINFORCE the floor to hold this monster. Wow love the depth front to back!

[@TreasureCorals]

thanks, will keep you updated :)

[@BryznsReef]

That is a dream tank! Looking forward to the experience and seeing what you do with it

[@TreasureCorals]

Thank you. Intimidating :)

[@peterhowells8509]

Wow! Super excited for you Dmitry! I'll be watching this build for sure, congratulations!

[@TreasureCorals]

Thank you Peter!

[@ReefEco]

Now that is a proper beautiful tank Dmitry! Can't wait to see it bloom.

[@TreasureCorals]

Thank you, this is an epic journey.

[@chadgillaspie7203]

going to be one heck of a setup!

[@TreasureCorals]

I know!! :D

[@lovermansmith9082]

Very nice ! Congratulations 😊. Look forward to your build

[@TreasureCorals]

Thank you! appreciate your kind words.

[@Daniel_SWE]

It will be fun to see what you will make. Realized that the sump of your old setup was bigger then my current saltwater aquarium. There's always something new to get. :D

[@TreasureCorals]

Thanks. I've done them all, 10 gallon, 20 gallon, 80, 100, 200, etc.. all are awesome.

[@2toneent855]

This is awesome, I can't wait to follow this journey! Your going to kick ass on this tank. As we all know,your gonna have to go through all of the ugly stages to allow your tank to establish itself. I can't wait to see how you manage it at this large size capacity of a tank!

[@TreasureCorals]

Thank you, very exciting project indeed.

[@andrewsdrmike]

You will love it! My 320.7 is sweet

[@niagarafirecorals]

You should call it The Treasure Experience. That way you continue falling your previous concept. 👍

[@TreasureCorals]

ahahaha, good idea :)

[@ballejoreef4599]

Congrats, awesome tank! Looking forward to the progress.

[@TreasureCorals]

Thanks! very exciting

[@fletcherwright7042]

Sweet 👍 very nice

[@MoeReefs]

Congratulations! No doubt this will be an awesome reef.

[@TreasureCorals]

Thank you Moe!

[@larssloth6220]

Beautifull aquarium. Greate craftsmanship. I am not envious at all...😉 Looking forward to se it coming to life.

[@TreasureCorals]

Thanks, appreciate it.

[@markkolosiej2829]

This is going to be Awesome! Can't wait to see this.

[@TreasureCorals]

Thank you!

[@kaseywilson7576]

Nice tank ready to 2 c u get it goin as watch this tank look beautiful in next few years and learn what I can to may implement in my reef.

[@TreasureCorals]

Thanks Kasey, happy to try to move the hobby forward and if others can learn from my successes and failures, even better.

[@crystalmichaud]

Did you have to reinforce your flooring for this size of a tank? Can't wait to see this completed!

[@TreasureCorals]

I'm leaving no stone unturned. Thanks for following along.

[@Vintage442]

Can't wait to see you set up this monster! Congrats

[@TreasureCorals]

Thank you!

Thank you Andrew!

[@MrShishi]

Congrats - Beautiful aquarium. Just one bit of advice for you. I ran my tanks 110g and smaller and always had easily controlled nutrients and figured my 400g bare bottom would be the same. Wrong, Now I am carbon dosing with Vinegar and using LC for PO. I wish I had started using this right away before letting my nutrients get to of the charts high but you live and you learn. Larger tanks = more food, bigger inverts, bigger fish, and less flow and water change inputs than smaller reefs. I had zero algae yet my Nutrients went of the charts and set me back awhile. So do everything possible from the start to control nutrients early on and not wait a few months bc they go up super quick compared to smaller reefs.

[@TreasureCorals]

Thank you, appreciate your advice.

[@cegentry]

Would really be interested in your techniques for getting this tank into place. Have a similar tank awaiting my aquarium room to get finished up so I can move tank into place.

[@TreasureCorals]

If you are located in Ontario - I would use the same people as I did, it was a crazy process. Love it to professionals

[@leesreef3064]

Amazing tank looking for to watching the build

[@TreasureCorals]

Thank you!

[@CJSAQUARIUMS]

Love the new tank! Euro bracing eliminates splashes and majority of fish that ride the wall up and out of the tank. Question.. was this sponsored? Also was the tank and stand delivered completely assembled? Congrats man I’m tuning in 🫡

[@TreasureCorals]

The tank came already fully assembled, just need to add doors and hook up plumbing. Love Waterbox!

[@TrevorHiller]

You should consider checking out some of the Tunze wave boxes or 6105s for some of your flow, they are highly underrated and I think they deserve some extra attention.

[@TreasureCorals]

I am a huge fan of those wave boxes, never have seen them for sale for some reason, great product.

[@oscarkromhout7621]

Damn. Doing water changes on that is gonna be a hassle

[@TreasureCorals]

The plan is to automate it

[@CoralReefkid]

Hell yeah, big tanks are big smiles!

[@TreasureCorals]

Ha :)

[@daynelyn7176]

Now that the tank is in place the fun begins

[@TreasureCorals]

Ha :)

[@timjohnson3913]

It’s going to be incredible! I’d like to cast a vote for lots of medium & large tangs and angelfish. Heavy nutrients in and out. Lots of small fish could be cool, but I don’t know if it’s possible to execute it well. Tons of small fish swimming around… kind of seems like it will be hard for anything to stand out. And I think a lot of people imagine a big school or two of small fish. Would be awesome in theory, but 1) usually these fish pick eachother off one-by-one and 2) while you can see actual schooling behavior with baby chromis, I have looked all over youtube and I can’t find any large groups of adult chromis, anthias, firefish, etc schooling where they swim in the same direction and change direction together. It just doesn’t exist in an aquarium to my knowledge. Plenty of videos of them swarming together but those are always feeding videos, which does not count as schooling in my opinion. Another thing, a lot of smaller fish tend to be the more timid/peaceful type and there’s a decent chance that if you end up moving into more assertive fish, many of the peaceful fish may not do well. I’m sure you have enough experience to pull it off, but managing algae without tangs could be brutal. Excited for whatever you choose to do with it! As for the rock scape, that’s a tough decision. Did you rule out a bare bottom tank? I would put some serious thought into that especially if you go with the heavy bio load with heavy nutrients in and out. With bare bottom, you can put those power heads right on the bottom of the tank a keep detritus suspended and headed into filtration.

[@TreasureCorals]

Thanks Tim, very good points and they come in handy. I think a group of anthias and/or chromis will look great, but angelfish and tangs - that I really am excited about, so definitely will be there. Barebottom is not an option for me, I want to have wrasses and I love love love the look of sand, so higher nutrients is totally fine.

[@TheJohnny220]

Dmitry hope this works well. Its huge

[@TreasureCorals]

Thank you, quite a project

[@beausutherland9928]

What are you doing with your old aquarium?

[@TreasureCorals]

Selling it

[@beausutherland9928]

How much? I bought your old planted 80 gallon... Looking to upgrade again myself

[@TreasureCorals]

@@beausutherland9928 ahahaha! :) so awesome. Give me a shout via text and we’ll figure it out

light hybrid with t5 and AI grow.

[@TreasureCorals]

Good idea, but I think blades are going to get me very similar results with more flexibility

[@jkelley1263]

lets go EXPERIENCE

[@TreasureCorals]

You said it! :D

[@higgs1913]

Your video gives the impression that this change is quite significant, almost as if it's a daunting challenge for you. However, from my perspective, it appears you're essentially just doubling the volume. Given that you've previously maintained fantastic-looking reefs, you clearly understand how to manage them successfully. What specifically concerns you about this change?

[@TreasureCorals]

Well said, I think daunting is a good way to describe how I feel about it sometimes. I have always found that things in saltwater scale linearly - double the volume means double of everything. But if things were to go wrong, disaster on this tank will be a lot more consequential than when a 20 gallon tank has an issue. But hey, bold moves are needed sometimes in life.

[@higgs1913]

@@TreasureCorals Good luck!

Waterbox 340 = Big $$$$$$$$$$$$

[@TreasureCorals]

Not more expensive than any other large aquarium. But yes, this hobby takes a lot of resources.
