Otty's 265 (w/3 sided View)

cool deal Otty... I'll be very interested on how this will come together....

when my lease is up this Sept and we buy our own house. I'm going for a larger tank, 180 or larger... can't wait!!

 

I just hope this satisfies the obsession for a big tank, don't think I can talk Mommy into a larger one if it's not. She doesn't mind because my 4 year old keeps bringing her friend over to show them my 55 gal. She tries to pronounce the corals names the best she can....;D I think I found Mommy weak spot...the kids....
Good luck on the new home, you will feel a lot better putting your money on something you own and not someones elses.

 

It's official I'm now really jealous.

 

My exwife has my old house.... I hate renting but it served it's purpose for the last couple of years

 

Man you do move fast Otty! Looks great. Any thoughts about ventilation?

 

Funny thing you asked because there is a bathroom fan here in the basement about 8' away from the tank and I was going to tie into it and put a thermostate on it so it would only run in the day when the MH's are on to vent outside then I will have fans blow into the canaopy on one end and out on the other. I hope that will be enough to keep things cool, time will tell.

When I set my mind at something I do it non stop until it's finished. This has always been my dream tank in the wall, freshwater or not it's finally happening. I'm really getting excited....better go I got electrical to get done tonight....;D

 

Otty if you use that 4 way oceans motion with dual pump no spray bars will be needed Beside the bars are just an eye sore with the way you are mounting the tank there will stick out like a sore thumb.. But if you want to use them get the sch. 80 gray pipe and fittings and I can send you a how to so they will not be all that visible. I hate to see pips sticking all into a tank when you get to this level that is.. Like with our clients when we set up a $ 35,000.00 and Plus turn key job people don't want to see pipes After 200 gallons the game changes

 

Hahahahahahaha Hahahahaha Yea thats what I once thought when I got my first 280 tank LOL then it was a 450 then a 500 then a 750 and then thank god I had a near life ending auto accident and had to give them away and sold the 750 and 550 flat out Its called Tank Crack.. LOL Now I install them after the sale Since I can't ply my trades any longer this is my now line of work .. Watch out! It could Be just the beginning.. Like the 180 I brought up here hell its near full and the corals all came from a small 40 gallon flat back hex I just set up as a fill Gap type deal last December 05 LOL.. I now think maybe a 280 would have been better ? LOL

 

NO!!!

 

so would that be one vote for a 2 gallon pico?
