My 250G shallow build

[JoshuaG]

Well I got a chance to upgrade after owning my 125G for under a year and went with it. New tank is 80x36x20, external overflow running SFS.

Here is the stand I had built with leveling feet.

And here is the first pic of the tank, now just a waiting game for it to be ready for pickup!!:celeb1:

First part of the puzzle. The rest of the main parts will include 3 175-250W MH's with LED supplements and an ATB Flowstar 1500.

looking good.

what glass thickness is that? who is the builder?

 

[jhentr]

Awesome size. Looking forward to the build. I hope to have something like this in the future. the 36" depth will be great for creating canyons.

looking good.

what glass thickness is that? who is the builder?

1/2" front and sides and 3/4" bottom and back if I remember right. Local builder is doing it for me.

From amazon actually, but you can get them all over.

Dude - you got the bug

Same builder? Edit: Disregard, gray glass is signature...

With those feet put some shims next to them for extra security.

Thanks! No clue on scape yet, just gna mess with the rock till I find something I like.

Here is a pic of the back so you guys can see the notch.

Just got the tank home last night, hope to get plumbing done in the next week or so. Big thanks to Keith at Signature Aquariums for bringing it down and helping move it in, tank is amazing!

Any opinions on flow? I have two MP40's now, I could get two more for 4 total or I was thinking to maybe throw a couple Tunze's in the back corners and have the MP40's on the side.
