3000 gallon DIY build video (start to finish)

Really cool 3000 gallon DIY Cichlid aquarium build. Quite a bit different from many that I have seen before, plus shows the whole build from start to finish.

Hard to put how massive that tank is into perspective until I saw those 5 gallon buckets sitting in it. Really nice build. And the finishes are top notch

Stunning build, I love it. Fantastic craftsmanship on the basement and the tank! One question, how do you deal with the humidity produced by such a massive footprint of water? My 540 gallon only had a 6ftx4ft footprint and it put a serious amount of water into the air. I'm curious because my next build will be roughly 1,000 gallons and I do worry about the impact of all that humidity on my home.

Just cover the tank. I covered my 535g tank and just had feeding holes, and had no problems. If I had a tank like that, I’d probably install some sort of dehumidifiers or extraction fans.
