Welcome all to Gran Playa Del Mar!!
Soon to be the home of a new five star reef attraction. Weighing close to 3,000 lbs and holding some marvelous sea critters that we have all come to love.
While the tank has been ordered, I am in planning stages for this new wonderful addition to the San Jose landscape. I now look to this wonderful community for advice at this critical stage.
The tank is a Red Sea 900 xl at about 79 inches wide. A layout of the room the tank (red square) could go in is roughly 89 inches wide corner to corner, but call it 87 inches due to window sills.
I don’t think there is anyway to move the tank into the room show below. Do you agree? I know the diagram says 6’10, but it’s incorrect. While I’m sure we could walk it in I am not sure we could get it to slide into that back wall. This would also require reinforcing the floor.
Based on my calcs the aquarium on a diagonal axis is ~85 inches if Add some leeway to the measurements based on the reefer. So it’s possible the tank could be placed on the stand at an angle and slid into place on the stand in the back of the room.
If this doesn’t work then the new tank goes into the garage on a cement slab.
