150 Gallon Custom Build

[pcfish]

Finally getting started on my new tank build after moving into the new house. Its been almost a year.
I picked up the aquarium a local reefer 150 gallon AGE 60" X 30" X 20". Starfire glass on three sides PVC bottom and Plexiglas Euro braced top.

Finally got some time to building the stand thanks to my Friend Kirk whom is a welder.
Stand is 43" tall. Still have to weld some more support for the stand and get it powder coated black.
Going to be using most of my old equipment. Apex, Pumps, 3 X Radion Gen 2 Pro Led, Skimmer is going to be a ATB 840.
I found a Trigger systems sump in CL for a decent price.

The build is taking me a lot longer that I would like but it is finally started.
Aquarium is still in a create or I would post pictures of it.

Aquarium originally came all the way from LA but I picked it up in Santa Rosa. I'm sure some of you will recognize the aquarium once I post some pictures.

Here are a couple pictures of the stand.

where did you get the tank from?

 

[Bogue Chitto]

That's going to be a nice stand when you get it finished. It will hold the weight for sure. Hope you get it up and going soon.

Lol that's great. Yeah Wade been way to long but had to get the floors done in the new house before the tank went up again.
Shouldn't be to long heading to Puerta Vallarta Wednesday for 5 days once I get back will finish the stand and put the tank in the house it's been sitting in a crate in the garage since I picked it up.

Hey Colin! I think it's your turn to come back.

Pedro, what's the status on this?

 

[pcfish]

At a stand still the only place in Brentwood where I get the material from is only open Mon- Fri and I need more steel. Picking some up hopefully Tues and getting it welded to the stand then off to Powder coating.
I was hoping to have tank up by Christmas but won't be up till the new year.

 

[fastrd400]

Let me know if you need help.
