300 gallon on order

[fishaholic911]

I ordered my 300 gallon this weekend yippy!!!I decided to go with the dolphin ampmaster 4700 for a return and still trying to figure out a sump. Stand and canopy are finished I will post pic soon.Next is to figure out what mh to run

Very cool! What are the dimensions? Is it the same as the 240, only 6" higher?

 

[fishaholic911]

Yes it is 96-24-30

Gary, I did not realize this pump was for a return. That is a serious return pump, do you really need one that powerful? Usually a return pump only needs to be 3-4 times the tank volume. This pump would be great for a CLC if you coose to get a smaller pump for the return. Just an idea.

On another note, will you be home tomorrow? I can stop by and pick up the sand.

scott I gave you a call

It has been almost 4 weeks and no tank yet. This sucks !

My 180 was built in 2 weeks. (It was cracked on delivery)
IF it's delivered next thursday as promised, It will have taken 4 weeks to repair, a month and a half total.

That sucks ! Im like a little boy on christmas waiting for my gifts but it seems like chrismas will never come.

 

[Satori]

I know what you mean! I'll believe I have a new tank when it's full and the fish are swimmin in it!

 

[fishaholic911]

I ordered and received 4 250 watt hamilton se mh ballast and 14k bulbs with spider reflectors 4 160 watt uri vho actinic bulbs that will be powered by my 2 440 icecap ballast. 4-4 3/4 inch fans, all loc-line and moon lights, sand bed ( cruched coral ) I know kick me but I love the looks and euro reef skimmer ES6-1 that will run along side my asm g-2 this way I can have one run a wet foam and the other a dry I get to have my cake and eat it too.

 

[fishaholic911]

Forgot to mention the dolphin ampmaster 4700. All I need is a good sump and I will be on my way

 

[Satori]

It sure is fun opening all those packages, aint it?

 

[fishaholic911]

It will be more fun getting the big one

 

[fishaholic911]

package that is

 

[Satori]

My problem is, I've been getting all these shipments so I unpack them all but don't want to put anything away cause I know the tank will be here any day... It really clutters a small house!

 

[fishaholic911]

I know what you mean my wife would love her dinning room back.

 

[fishaholic911]

6 weeks and no tank yet!!!!!!!

 

[phlipper84]

When I did my tank the pile on my dining room table was about a foot high. It took almost 3 weeks after the tank was up and running to finally get it clear.

 

[Satori]

That sux Gary. Is it LeeMar? Have they given any indication when it might be?

Phil - I don't think I have 3 weeks to get it cleaned up... I already had to "organize" some of it today... I thought she understood

 

[phlipper84]

Hopefully when it is out-of-sight, it will be out-of-mind. My wife at least was not home when the packages came in. I just told her I had it for 6 months for the current tank and it would not fit! That or "I swear, it only cost like 5.00!"
