new 72x30x24 w/external overflow

[muir]

I would love to have feedback from the veterans on the "LARGE" tank side of RC.

So far I have a Geo skimmer and 3 vortech pumps on order. I already have 2 Lumen Max 2s and am wiring the 400watt HQI ballasts for them over the week end.
I am planning 2 rock piles and a canyon. SPS dominated. Havent decided on the DSB yet..... I prefer the look of a sand bottom.

I'm not a veteran, but that is going to be an awesome tank!

Very nice.
Is that a ADH set-up?

 

[muir]

Hey Just Dave ..... yes it is. They are local to me

i love the overflows on the back, versus taking up room in the tank!

Thought so. The stand liner gave it away.

Super Clean looking!

What size tank does that equal out to 240?

neat volume

neat volume

I think the inner dimentions work out to 195 gallons

 

[john37]

no it's 225gal

Hey37.... I dont know how thick of material your tank is made of, but mine is made from .75" acrylic.

that leaves an inner dementions of 70.5x28.5x22.5= 45208/231=195.7 gallons

 

[john37]

oh, you're right. wasnt thinking about the inside. my tank is glass so it's thinner. wow that thick acrylic really takes it's toll on the water volume.
