Today I finally received my new reef tank. Did some heavy lifting, that thing is heavy. The whole living room was filled with boxes. There was barely room to assemble the tank. Where do I put 135 gallons of seawater? Assembling the tank was simple, it's just a lot of work when you have to do it alone. It took me around 10 hours to unpack it, assemble and fill it with tap water. Big moment to start all equipment, not everything worked; the chiller was leaking, so I disconnected it. Everything else was working great, but the returnpump and skimmer are quite noisy, I hope that will fade away. Also aligning the doors is a bit tricky.
The aquarium itself is quite heavy, it will take several people to get it on the stand properly.
