770 Gallon Monster Setup

Thank you. I've been watching "The Wall" closely and it's looking great. I always enjoy seeing big build threads...perhaps partly because it makes me feel like less of a nut...
Right on cue...a fellow nut!...
Thanks Fred! (To see a big tank with cool fish and a clean in-wall setup, check out Doviiman's build thread)
Thanks Josh. I'm actually picking up 7 more between 4" and 5" on Sunday, so I'll have 19 soon.
We are in the process of putting an offer on a new house and one of the 'wants' for me out of a new house was to have an unfinished basement so that I could plan out and build a big tank with dedicated fish room behind it. Well we found a house and the plan I have now includes a 600G 8x4x30" peninsula tank. When I explain my 'vision' to my wife, my realtor, the builder, my friends etc. I get a lot of blank stares and laughs. Makes one feel like they are crazy at times haha! So I feel ya, seeing build threads like this makes me feel so not alone and crazy. MFK is like a support group!Thank you. I've been watching "The Wall" closely and it's looking great.

The tank looks awesome bud!
Sounds all normal to me, but I built a room and all the electrical stuff exactly for my fish tank setup. Lol. I don't think I'm crazy, just addicted

Beautiful tank!
I have two questions though. (probably already answered, but I didn't read through he whole thread)
1) How many beers did it cost you to get your buddys to move it? lol
2) what's that ring on the surface of the water in your feeding video?

I'm looking forward to following your build thread. Sounds like your filtration is going to be awesome.We are in the process of putting an offer on a new house and one of the 'wants' for me out of a new house was to have an unfinished basement so that I could plan out and build a big tank with dedicated fish room behind it.

haha- I think we all are a little bit. Some worse than others...
Thanks.
Thanks for the kudos. To answer your questions...
1.) I was nervous that my buddies were going to flake on me on moving day, so I hired some professional movers...but of the 6 friends that actually showed up, I bought them lunch and had as many beers as they could drink (after the move). The look on their faces when they saw the tank was pretty funny. I hope to stay in this house for a long time because I don't think any of them will help me move this tank again.
2.) It's a feeding ring...it prevents the pellets that float from being sucked into my overflow towers. I feed New Life Spectrum sinking pellets, but not all of them sink like they're supposed to...I hated watching even just a few pellets go straight into my filter, so that's what I came up with to prevent that from happening.
I came across this video that makes me wish I had gone with even smaller fish...these tanks are spectacular:
