Hello RC. Currently I have a 220 gallon tank. It is in the basement of our new house. With it being down there & me being so busy with the new house it has went downhill--it's my fault. I slacked on WC & actually everything that goes with this hobby-well to the best of my knowledge, which isn't much compared to a lot of folks on here!! [emoji12]. One day my lovely wife came to me & said "why don't you put it upstairs in the wall like you want". So it began.... [emoji106]
I've always wanted an 8' long tank, so I priced some new 300 gallon tanks...outta my price range. I came across this tank on Craigslist one day, for a good price & it all came together. I finally got it in my garage last weekend. 10-8-16.
It is a 550 gallon, oceanic bow front. 8' long X 3' tall X 2' deep(on ends) & 3' deep (in the middle).
Came with the wood stand( I don't know if I'm gonna use it or build a new one but I'll get into that later on), the 2 part filtration system & a 4750 dolphin pump.
Now all the work begins.... I'm gonna build it into the wall & make this front room into a formal sitting room.
This is kinda gonna be a slow build because I want to try & limit some of the "wish I would've done that different" scenarios. I will probably ask a lot of questions & any tips/advice from y'all would be great. I'm really excited to watch this unfold into my dream tank!!!
