My new tank 9' x 3' x 2'

[Uc21]

Hello everyone I've been a member for quite a while but I have never posted here I would like to say thank you for all of the grate information I have found here. I have had fowler and reef tanks for the past 10 years or so and had switched between the two a few times through out the years. So when me and my wife decided to move out of our apartment 18 moths ago and into are house we did a full Reno and with that obviously came planning for new larger tank our last tank was a 150 gal. The new tank is going to fit between a stair case and wall behind our dining room table so it had to be custom. 9' x 3' x 2' with external overflow 2 sides viewable front and left with the over flow on the right side. So with the construction of the house taking longer than expected and the birth of my son the tank project got put on hold but I did manage to run plumbing drain pipes and data wires from the tank to where my water change station is. So fastforward to this past February and I finally ordered my new tank I was between acrylic and glass for a while but with it having to go up to the second floor and the only way being through the second floor balcony I decided to go with acrylic. While I waited for my tank I built my sump 7' x 25" x 20" 1/2" acrylic I orderd my skimmer skimz monster sm 302 waveline dc pump as a feed for it 300 and 500 w titanium heater with a finnex controller a reeflo snapper gold I already had my apex.

How do you upload more than one pic at a time

You can't upload more than one image at a time. It is better to upload your images to a dedicated image host on the web (e.g. Photobucket, Flickr, etc.) and then link them back here to RC using the yellow icon in the Editor.

Putting your images on an image host serves them up faster, and it lets people see your images on RC without logging in. You can link up to ten images per post in RC.

The floor was supported when we did the construction and the tank is now up and running already the only thing left now is the finished cabinetry and hood figuring out my lighting clean up some wiring and a lot of programming for my apex tank depot just called my 105 gal tank is in for my water change station I will post more pics once I figure it out

I'm still working on the photo bucket here is a pic of the skimmer

 

[Lavoisier]

That's a good looking kid...and skimmer.

 

[Uc21]

Thank you he loves the tank and the skimmer works very well I added a self cleaning head and a wash down for the cup that is turned on once a day and goes down the drain keeps it from stinking up the house.

Her is a pic of the stand minus the top bec I had to drop the sump in first

 

[Uc21]

I glued a shower pan liner to a piece of foam pvc and placed it in the bottom of the stand just to keep any water that might leak contained within the stand so it can go directly down the drain

I'm building a 9'x'3'x2' at the end of the year. I'm really looking forward to see what you're doing with the same size

 

[Uc21]

Here is one with tank in place getting it into the house was ridiculous it had to be lifted above my second floor balcony I will see if I can find the pics and video
