Setting up my new 240

[Reeftoker]

This is the start of my 240 rebuild, This is my tank the day I brought it home. Me and my buddys Mike aka nomad37 and Keith went and picked it up.

After debating for awhile I decided to drill 3 holes for 2" drains, so I should be able to move alot of water through them. Sence I didnt want to have my tank real far of the wall I decided to drill 1 hole for a 1 1/2" return line.
Here is the tank after drilling and putting in the over flows.
