It are 3 HEA 140 beams. The the beams has 14cm of bearing surface. The total weight of the tank will be around 3000 kilograms. Zo each bearing surface will have to carry around 500 kilograms. I think that will be no problem.
I agree. Great idea and looking forward to it coming together

Great build, you Monster fish keepers in Europe do not "F"around and this build looks like it will be another top notch build.
Please keep us all posted.

You totally nailed it with the beams! Damn i think i hate you now, you did what i didnt dare to do :) Nice start on this build! Those beams will give you sooo much space under that tank(was my idea aswell).. Dang, now i regret going with wood..You have the exact same measurements on the tank that i have, exept mine is 30cm higher, you can check it out "1200 gallon tank officialy started).

I've seen your tread, great build!
I really like the beams, as you said.. it gives alot of space :). But i needed to use the beams, otherwise the floor would not carry the weight.

Less then you think ;) Around 500 euro's in total.


I cannot really give you a real update yet. Im still finishing the rest of the house before i can start building on the fishtank. The constructing of the house is taking longer then i expected.

Allthough i painted some walls and i completed the frame in my bedroom :) In two weeks my new fridge will be deliverd. 200 liter fridge specially for the fishfood :p.

And next week i will be picking up my first filter. It will be an Aquaforte shower filter. I need to see how it fits in the room, but probably i will take two of these filters. And soon i will also order my beadfilter.

When the time is there.... i will post enough pictures :)
