265 Gal Build/Update 5/6/11

My husband and I are FINALLY putting together our 265 gal tank. Since we found out we were moving we decided to put it on hold because we did NOT want to break it down and move it. So now that we're done moving and setteled in, we're getting it started! Here are some pics of the tank, our live rock, and our 60 gal sump. We ordered our pump and it should be here this Wednesday. It's a ReeFlo Hammerhead Gold 1 1/2 inch FPT 5800gph. I'll be adding pics and updates as our build goes along. Our goal is to make it a beautiful reef!

 

wow what a nice size tank. and gratz on your moving.

i want to see a lot of picture as you build your tank plz

 

Thanks! Oh I will be posting LOTS!!! We'll start to do the plumming as soon as our pump get's here. We're still trying to decide if we want to use ocean water, or RO and salt mix.

 

What plans do you have stocking wise?

I love the fun of setting up new systems and all the potiental

congrats tropical. lookin forward to seein this move along. what are the dimensions? the tank looks wide and shallow. very cool looking IMO.

 

This should be fun to watch.

What's up with the stand for the stand?

 

great looking setup. yea what are the dimensions ?

 

We wanted the top of the tank to be eye level (about 6 feet off the ground) so we wouldn't have to bend over to see everything.

 

The tank is 7 feet long, 30 inches wide, and 22 inches tall.

 

those are awesome. its gonna be alot of fun for you.
