RO sure can be slow to watch it fill, bit like paint drying. Good luck.

[slandis3]

IM not real sure how heavy it is. but i would guess over 300lbs easily

[FUA]

wow the depth of that tank rocks.....that looked like a fun lift....lol

 

[Jflip2002]

Thats a real nice size, I didnt know Marineland made tanks of that size. Dont put too much water in there, you still dont have rocks in place

 

[slandis3]

yea were going to add the rock tomorrow. we have to get the prams to match our holding tank before i can add anything

nice update..where do u get the black sand from?

 

[slandis3]

my lfs had it in stock

The black sand is very nice looking. Was there a reason you used white under it? Marineland's web site does not have the weight of this size tank listed. Based on the other tanks it is probably close to 400 lbs.

 

[slandis3]

I already had the white sand then decided to add the black so i mixed it a little.

 

[slandis3]

Well a quick update. I was gonna post this earlier with some pics but I ran out of time. The tank is full and running. Leaks are fixed, salinity is almost right, and temp is almost there. I am driect feeding my skimmer from the overflow. I think my return pump is pushing more water than the skimmer could handle so I installed a T and ball valve whiched stopped the air from entering the skimmer as well as lowered the water level. I am going to add the rest of the salt tomorrow and start adding some of my dry rock hopfully I'll have some pics tomorrow.
