Starting my new 265 gallon

[Lord Viper]

Well Ive taken the plunge Im starting a new 265 gallon tank. so far all i have is the tank and i have to move my laundry room to fit the tank so its away from my wood stove. Any help with the setup would be appreciated Im looking for some used equipment dont think Ill use a used pump though think Ill go with new. I was thinking on using my 55 gallon I have now for the sump and getting a 20 gallon for the "ref". about half done with the laundry room so Ill soon commence with the build.

Ok about done with the new laundry room. i filled the tank today to check for leaks. hope it dont freeze its in the garage with a small heater in it. working on pics

Looking forward to those pics!

What are the dimensions on that tank?

 

[Lord Viper]

84x30x24 kidda tall but hopeful it will look good. its a perfecto dont care for the green tint but went with what I could afford. Does anyone know if I can remove the moulding around the tank with out messing things up. I want to run the drywall over the front a little for a cleaner look.

Think i need to take new pics there to large I have an email setting on my camara so ill try that

Dang .. too bad, sold the dodge yesterday.
Rare car, only 7500 made before the war started. 5 window coupe only available in Canada. One piece hood. lotsa chrome, makes a perfect cruisin machine.

My tanks drilled, hope to get the sump done this weekend.
