Joe G's 80 gal rimless tank build

[Joe G]

Thanks.
Just waiting on my custom sump, and then I can continue getting this tank rolling. .

Ya buddy!! Time for sump and water !!

 

[Joe G]

Question for u guys.
I realized last night that my floor is slightly sloped.
How bad is that ?
What should I do ?

 

[TrialandError]

Might could put shims under the stand. Is it level front to back?

 

[Joe G]

I have to check the front to back but I think it is level that way.
The floor just slopes a little to the left .

 

[TrialandError]

I shimmed my stand for my 210 when I had it cause my floor slopes as well. Once shims are in place the weight of the filled tank won't let them budge lol.

 

[Joe G]

Ok thanks after work I will go to the hardware store for some wood shim's

 

[TrialandError]

Might want to look for some plastic shims. That way if they get went they won't rot away

 

[Joe G]

Will plastic shims support the weight of the tank ?

Finally after what seems like forever there is finally water in my new tank.
Today marks day one in the cycling process.
Hopefully in the next 6 weeks I will be able to start transferring my corals from my current tank into the new one .

Next I have to hook up gfo/ carbon reactor and some cable management
