It's time to rock the big system and upgrade the 210 back to the 750.

Here is my old 210:

Here is the stand for the 10'x4'x30" show tank with 6" external overflow:

I had the tank up and running a few years ago as a mixed reef with lots of fish. Here is a link to the video of it up and running:

Thanks octoreef! We moved homes so the tank came down for a season. I have also spent the last three years focused on SPS and want to make the 750 into a big SPS reef.

[Alex T.]

Wow. This should be quite a ride. That tank is absolutely gigantic.

 

[dca22anderson]

Thanks!

tfp - your 400 gallon is a great size SPS reef!

EBOLII - I use the torch to flame polish the edges.
