Oleg's 220 gallon tank build diary! :- D

[Olegman101]

Hello everyone! My name is Oleg and I've been in the saltwater hobby for a little while and I was able to find a killer deal on a used 220 gallon reef ready glass aquarium with a stock black stand. I decided to get rid of the stock black stand and with the help of my brother in law, build my own. Lighting will be 3 x 250 watt phoenix bulbs with galaxy ballasts with PC actinics, filtration will be a Reef Octopus Extreme 8 Inch XS200 (200 Gallon) In Sump Protein Skimmer w/ Gate Valve, filter sock, fuge, GFO, carbon, and weekly/biweekly water changes. Not exactly sure what ill be stocking the tank with, fish wise, but the tank will be a mixed reef. Enough with the talking! Here are the pictures! :- D Stand is in the process of being stained.

OLD stand.

NEW stand! :-D

Me!

With the help of my brother in law, couple friends, and Western_reefer, we loaded the stand onto the truck.

*thinking which stain would look better* lol

Brother in law working his magic on the stand.
