150 IM build thread

Hey everyone! We decided to upgrade to a big boy tank from our IM30L. We got an absolutely amazing deal on this tank with a ton of tech included. Super excited to share our build, yesterday it took them about 12 hours of work to get it emptied and moved to us with water. Definitely a huge job! Later today, everything will start coming together.

Slight update, the previous owner glued a lot of the pipes together, so our install guy has to put in some work to be able to get everything re-piped.

Finally got the basics of the system up and running! Our wonderful fish guy will come and finish setting everything up (lights, Hydros, moving over our current fish, etc) next week.

Its honestly great! Tons of room for stuff to grow out and create lots of caves for the fish.
