Topher Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 a few weeks back, picked up a 150 gal tank, stand, hood and some equipment from Tim. so now the build begins(dancing) along with the tear down of the fifty five gal tank(sad). bitter sweet thing with getting a larger tank.very sad having the 55 going away. it has been a great growing tank. there may be a sales thread coming to you soon. so right now we have the 55 gal tank with 10 gal sump, a 60 gal truview with aprox 20 gal wet/dry sump, a 20 gal tank with canister filter and a fourty gal with a 29 gal sump.(the fourty gal is in line to replace then 20 gal tank) any way here is the 150 gal tank getting leak tested on the back patio.

Emerald525 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Keep the pictures coming. That tank looks really familiar...It's the one we traded into Tim. It's a nice tank we had it as a FOWLR the height was too much for my short arms. Glad it went to a good home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topher Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 yes it came from tim's...thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 One thing Chris, and I know its a pain now that you have water in it is to drill it. We had the hang on overflow get clogged on us twice and almost flood the basement (again) That's why we ended up trading it in because we were going to take it down to drill it and then decided to just do a build on the 150 gallon acrylic tank we had.

Emerald525 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Nice work. Adding another MH also a good move. I forgot there was only one. We didn't really use it because we were using it as an agressive tank with a few softies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
