1700 Gallon Saltwater Reef Aquarium

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The front and back viewing panels of the aquarium are constructed from exceptionally thick, 1.5-inch seamless acrylic. The entire construction of the aquarium and its panels was a specialized process performed on-site by a master acrylic handler, with assistance from 12 workers from the creator's landscaping company. The video highlights the significant investment required, noting that the cost of the acrylic alone for a system of this size was approximately $10,000. Additionally, to maintain the health and vitality of the marine ecosystem, the aquarium required monthly 400-gallon water changes.

Goal: Build and maintain the physical aquarium structure

Tools and materials

  • Acrylic Sheets — Constructing the main viewing panels of the aquarium due to its clarity and strength
  • Water Change Equipment — Facilitating the safe and efficient execution of large-volume monthly water changes
  • Saltwater — Replacing old water during regular maintenance to ensure optimal water quality and parameters
