Hello guys & gals, I am finally able to post in the large tank forum yes!!! Anyhow I started out in the reef hobby with a 30Gal 5yrs ago, then steped up to a 55Gal 3 mths later and built my first true reef tank then I sold this tank for 1500 after about a year. Then 3mths later I bought a 110gallon tank which is when I got lazy and did a fish only aggressive tank with live rock and some coral decorations. Then I sold that tank setup for 800 about 6mths later. then I bout a 135gal tank and used it for my redbelly pirahnas until they killed each other after 2 mtrhs, then I switched the 135gal over to a slatwater tank with some damsels and clown and a couple of corals for about 5mths, then I sold that tank for 850 and have been without a tank for about 6mths until now when I just bought my 270 Gal tall Acrylic tank for get this ""$632.00"" which is drilled with two overflows one on each side, complete with 2 little giant pumps, 30 gallon wet dry sump, heater, protein skimmer, 500wat metal halid system, r/o unit, & a titanium 300w heater, oh and about 80lbs of sand. yea sweet deal...lol. I love e-bay. ill post some pict's here below.......BEAR IN MIND i have to buff the tank on the inside where the idots used a brissel pad to clean the tank of algae. But it will clean up like new....
I plan on setting this tank up in my living room wall so it will be two sides viewable, I will be building a stand for it this weekend hopefully and ill post pictures of my progress as I go along. my wife's a little nervous of me with a sawzaw in the living room wall cutting a big hole, lol. But i convinced her to let me try, lol. I will post pictures of the tank once I get my scratch removal kit from live Aquria here in a few days. As far as my setup I plan on keeping the skimmer, heater, & sump, and selling the lights, and little giant pumps. i will be buying a new light fixture good for about 650watts metal halide & t5 setup, the new pump will be a Mag-drive 24 and Ill be running a 30gal refugium in line with the 30gal sump. thats about all I can think of now, oh and a Deep sand bed, about 4". Total water volume of about 330Gal System..if you guys have any questions or comments, advice, just let me know thanks, and im glad to be apart of reefcentral.
