300 Gallon Tank Build - Most likely my last upgrade

[Yaryman]

All the rock moved to the new tank with the temp 50 gallon sump under the tank.
The large empty area on the left side of the tank is for the cup coral.
The cup coral is so large I had them cut one larger hole in the top of the tank so it would fit.

Yes indeed.

I purchased the 6 ft tank in the first post from Aquarium Concepts in 1999.
Then I bought this 300 gallon tank from them last year.

While there buying this tank, I mentioned I would be back in 2025 for my next upgrade.

I hope everybody here will forgive me for saying this, but right now I have no desire for a larger tank.

The tank is this one from Truvu with modifications.

300 Gallon wide tank.

Those modifications being a center overflow instead of sides.
The center overflow has two openings drilled for 1.5 pipe and is about 12 inches by 6 inches.

The front and side acrylic are .5 inch. The back and bottom are 3/8 inch.
The top piece was an upgrade to .75 inch to prevent bowing on the front piece.

So far it has worked.

 

[Yaryman]

Been rather slow with up dates.

Here's a time lapse of the previous tank tear down. 3 hours and 50 minutes in 1 minute and 54 seconds.

Everything made it to the new tank OK.
