Upgrade from 34 Solana to 180

[HulaDad]

So my 34g Solana was getting a little full, and we were moving to Charlotte so we figured time for an upgrade. With space at the new place permitting we went with a 180g. Here you can tell why we needed an upgrade.

When I built my stand I thought I was putting a army tank on it instead of a fish tank... lol

The stand will hold the 180g and hold a 75g for the sump. I installed a door on the end in case I need to remove the sump for anything.

I painted the inside of the stand and canopy with Rust-oleum Topside boat paint, so I know they are waterproof and put a coat of stain on the canopy.

Here are some pics of the sump going together. It is a 75g with center return section. It has a 24g fuge section, 16g skimmer section, and a 10g return section. I figure that I can drain the skimmer and return section and that will let me do a 25g water change each week.

Sump is in the stand and plumbing is done. Time to do a freshwater test...
