265Gal Build

been looking for a 265, have the perfect place for it. hope i can find a deal like that.

 

Well I decided not to convert a 55 gallon tank into a sump and purchased an acrylic eshopps reef sump 300. Can someone please tell me what steps i need to take to go about drilling for a 1 1/2" bulkhead for my return line.

 

I did some rock work and added my sand I just filled to cover the live sand bed. I will be finishing the plumbing this weekend. A few pics attatched.

 

Looking great, good choices

 

Well I have finished plumbing and filled the tank to the overflows and decided to give the pipe work an extra dry day before I fill to run. I ran in to a small problem the aqua c skimmer I picked up would not fit under the stand so I had to dig out my old asm in the garage. I have also hooked up the lighting. A few pics.

 

Plumbing pics, overflow, and tank shot with led's burning.

 

..I know we all work to create the wonderful DT...but I just love the looks of a nice clean SUMP area !! : ) Nice work...It is about time for me to turn my attention back to my sump area. :/ K+ : )

 

Lol this will be a first for me. I normally have a ball of cords and things everywhere under the stand.

 

that's funny..mines just getting old...but boy, have I seen some crazy set ups...not knocking anyone..because some of the funkiest ones were great performers...do what ya gotta do I say...But I do enjoy a clean SUMP.;D

 

Your gonna love the 265....i have the same tank
