I just started building a stand for my 300. You can get info from garf.org

Tanya, he's already a member of manhattan reefs. I sent him here because this section is more informative for large tanks.

This is where the big dogs hang out, lol.

Yes Starphire... the clarity is obvious in the photographs

How much is the tank going to cost?

 

[pperez]

I prefer glass, and like others said, maybe just the front starphire.

His tank is meant to be in wall.

Also, maybe an external overflow?

 

[TandN]

The one im gonna be getting is 48"x48"x30" front and right starphire left side w/ externial overflow eurobraced

I just ordered a starphire tank from Aquarium Obssesed and the tank rocks. I live in CT and I considered going with a local manufacturer like Aquariums For You but I went with AO due to its steller reputation.

 

[frank arriaga]

thanks ReefBum I will check them out.

 

[frank arriaga]

cost so far for the tank is about 3,700.

 

[TandN]

Im using AO also

OK guys, placed order for tank from miracles aquariums its is a 265 gal with a 90 gal refugium it wil have a external overflow with two 1.5 '' holes on the left side on tank and four 1''holes for the returnon the back front and rigth side will be starphire glass.it will also have eurobrace. I will try to post pictures of where the tank room will be built. Excuse the mess, but I was recently flooded and making repairs to the downstairs. The wife gets to remodel and I get to build my fish room. Will keep post updated with pictures. Will start tank room within three weeks. Tanks will be delivered within seven weeks. Please advise which pump I should use. I will also have two Tunze 6100 Steams. I will buy two more if needed, but I would like to keep these on the bottom on the tank and have enough flow with the pump for the center and surface. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you guys. Will keep you guys updated.
