KMiller Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 A friend of ours recently told us he was getting out of saltwater as his career keeps him away from home for a few weeks at a time, and the tank wasn't getting cared for properly. Anyways, he had a FOWLR. 200-250 gal tank acrylic with built in overflows. either 1/2" or 3/4" 125 gal sump unknown skimmer (Coralife?), whatever it is, it works great! 2 Pan world external magnet pumps 500ish lbs of lr (yes, at LEAST 500lbs!) 3" sandbed 4bulb t5 fixture. This tank is MASSIVE!! Anyways, we got it all for super cheap! $ picked up all the little stuff that we could fit in our car, and the tank and sump, etc, will be delivered either tomorrow or saturday! Now, we decide if we will set it up in the house (it's pretty deep, so I think it'd stick out too far in our house, we will see though), or if it will be our garage tank (condense the 2 in to one huge one) or what we will do with it. Just had to tell everyone how excited we are!! AND yes, a little crazy too. (nutty) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-3 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 We need pics!! What are the dimensions of the tank???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMiller Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 He didn't have a measuring tape handy, and so these are approx measurements 60" w 24 or so deep (my arm, from the front of the tank to the back), and approx 30" tall (to mid thigh on me, and i am 5'7") I think Drew might have taken a few pics on his cell, but the lighting was very poor in the room.
