850 gallon monster tank build
- Thread starter Abyssalisk

The tank is running well. Despite my best efforts, I still underestimated these beasts as they've managed to bust a few of the edges on the background. I've bought around 1,000 nylon screws and have been attaching artificial moss into the damaged areas for now. I'll definitely use more epoxy next time
I didn't seal the tile. I'm a bit of a clean freak so I wanted to be able to take out the tiles and scrub them down if I felt like doing so. My flow pretty much keeps everything and anything off of the bottom so I haven't really had any problem with debris getting under there (aside from a stingray barb I found lodged in between two tiles the last time I deep cleaned the tank lol). I've misplaced the tiny remote for the LED strips so once I get a new one in I'll attach a vid and some pics. Other than that, I upgraded the brutes to rain barrels and increased the piping between them from 1.5" to 3". I had some bottleneck issues before but now I can run my pump at full load. Thanks for your interest 
Very nice tank. I just got to enjoy this whole thread. I was thinking the same things as other posters as far as the background being a bluish color. However, after seeing the finished product, I’m very impressed and like it a lot.
I like the stocking as well. Only thing missing is a fire eel. Lol

I've actually considered adding a large eel. If I could find a larger sized one that I wouldn't have to grow out, I'd definitely add it in.
Was the idea behind the Tri-Force to make it look like a Lake Hylia Biotope
Sweet tank, I never would have thought that a blue-green background would look so good, especially with the lighting, but its really cool. Well done
