Just getting the 200 going...

[fillibar]

These are the first couple pictures of my 200. I have had it shutdown for some time converting from freshwater to saltwater. It is not nearly done, but I figured I should get a couple pictures up. As some background this is a 84"x24"x24" glass tank. I drilled 6 holes in it and painted the back black. The stand and canopy (neither complete) are wood and plywood construction that has been waterproofed. There is not enough lighting but like I said it is "recently" started. Let's see if I can get some pictures going...
First picture is the back of the tank. You can see the 2, 2" drains and the 4, 1" returns. Only 2 returns are hooked up to the pump at this time. The rubbermaid tub is the "pump tub".

Here is the front left side, as you can see I have very little in it yet.

Here is the front right side...

This is the 55 gallon that I am going to eventually move most things over from...

what are your plans for this tank....certainly lots of space and flow.

My plans are pretty simple really. The idea is to give everything in my 55 more space to grow. I will be adding a live-rock stack to the right side of the tank, across ~2/3 of the tank. The left 1/3 is going to remain fairly open with maybe a pillar or arch, to give more open space and swimming area, as well as more available sandbed.

cool I definitely can't wait to see pics of the finished rockwork... I've been wanting to do something like this for some time. Nice open swimming space.
