Freestanding Live Reef Cylinder

CYLINDER CORAL REEF EXHIBIT
Cylinder Aquariums can make the some of the most breathtaking displays. This 16’ diameter cylinder is home to a living coral reef exhibit. Occupants include several species of Indonesian coral, sponges, live rock, and encrusting invertebrates. Schools of colorful tropical marine fish swim in an endless and ever-changing whirl of exotic life. Upon close inspection, you will discover crabs, shrimps, and starfish making their way across the reef surfaces and bottom substrate. The stand and canopy are made of Solid Surfacing panels cut to fit and attached to the solid steel substructure.  An inner filtration and mechanical chase accommodates the necessary filtration, venting, and affords the service access necessary to perform all maintenance from the inside.   Components were prefabricated at our facility packed into a container and shipped overseas. Our crew utilized our polymerized joint technology, creating clear seams, to join the curved panels, completing the project on-site in Taegu, South Korea.
