Well everyone,
i finally have a tank worthy of a build thread!
just bought a 400 gallon tank from a fellow reefer locally its a 370 tank and its got about 35 gallons in the overflow which gets it up to around 400 gallons.
The tank came drilled for a closed loop which is great because it saves me money on powerheads, it also came with an OM 4way for the closed loop
So we got the tank home on the only day its been sunny here in about 3weeks so we got lucky! but we got it back to my house and getting in the back yard one of the guys sliced his hand open on the euro-bracing so we had to stop and leave it there, so it has been sitting in the back yard now for a week.
so here it sits!
Trying to find people to come over and help me move it is ridiculously hard once people know how big the tank actually is
lol
What makes it even more difficult is the bulkheads on either end i dont wanna take off as it would cost me more then just moving it as is so im thinking of standing it up on end on blocks and then putting an industrial 2 wheel dolly under it and moving it that way, dun dun dun and now the hard part
down 2 small sets of stairs and around a corner in between the 2!
heres a couple more pics of the tank
now the reasoning behind the upgrade!
i had a 300 in the past and had to tear it down due to financial difficulty and down graded to a 125
well now that things are looking better i found a smokin deal on this tank so i couldnt pass it up
the 125 is now in my spare room with all the fish in hyposalinity to get rid of the small amount of ich in the tank (only affects the powder tangs)
and theres the pics of the "new" fish room
which im spending today cleaning and re-organizing so hopefully it will look alot better this afternoon!
now the only problem i have is getting people to move the tank in lol
so im going to be putting an add up in my local reef forum to see if theres some help available to get it all moved
more to follow!
