240g tank w/fish room build

[rogergolf66]

Well I'm going to pick up my new tank tomorrow. I'm very excited.

Going to build an inwall tank. It's 72x30x25 with a steel stand. I plan to do a rock wall on the back and both sides.

I will post pictures tomorrow.

I'm very excited for the new skimmer too. I'm looking to see it it's any better then the itech i have been running.

You going to have a new build thread?

I always like seeing how someone will spend $7,000 plus!

First big thanks to Matt and my wonderful wife for helping with the tank move!!!

I'm sure I will post some stuff. Not sure if I will have a dedicated thread or not.

Here is the new skimmer. Notice the 1 gallon paint can for a size reference.

The steel stand.

Front of stand

Canopy and finally the tank.

Since it will be an in wall tank, will you use the wood part of the canopy and stand?

well my answer to that would have been I was going to turn it around and you would have seen the wood part from the fish room. But the wife and I like the wood so much that we may not do inwall. I will still do the fish room for the sump and other tanks.

If it becomes for sale, I'm a buyer

[MJNTWise]

Ya I think he should use the stand too....looks to good to put in a fish room....

Simply amazing Roger. You have done it again. Please let me know if you need an extra set of hands to move things around. I will take that chance to see your current setup.

 

[BryanS4]

Got a sneak peak of this today and man it's going to look killer when up and running. And that skimmer is a straight up beast!

I may take u up on that. The wife and I can not lift this thing. I can't deside if I want to build a rock way on the back or not....
