salmonslayer Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Here are some shots of my 180 I would like to share. Its a 180gal. Had to drill 10 holes, 2 for feed baracuda and OM 8 way. Talk about scary, I just paid $700 for a new tank and to have to drill it 1hr later. The 180 sits next to a 125gal frag tank in garage with a 45gal over head refuge and a 45gal sump below. I will post pics later of the finished setups Here are the bits I used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
