Xf250 is enough. Those are actually xf150. They’ll be going on the sides of the overflow. My xf250 will be side to side. I’m going to have 2 reefbreeders reef power rpm on each side in the back as well. All pumps will be ran on random and medium high flow. There will be zero detritus due to barebottom and massive flow in all direction!

 

[DarkTang]

Grow tray stand assembled! How would you raise this about 19 inches? The lower bar is about 17 inches above the ground. I need about 36” clearance underneath. Would cinderblocks work?

I was also goona go with some RPMs but I dont think they will hold on the 3/4" glass. Logan said he would paly around and see.
I am between another fx250 or the reefbreeders QP16 on the other end....hmmm

maybe some 4x4 that way you can still use the wheels if needed? if not cinder blocks.

I removed the wheels. No need in such a small space haha. I think I’m going to do 4x4 posts and cross brace with 2x4s.

I’m trying flippermax as my 400 is 3/4 acrylic and it works well!

 

[Devaji]

good to know you like the flipper on your acrylic tank I almost went that way I once had a 240 was so light two guys could carry it no problem. dose it scratch easy as ppl say it does??

There’s a plastic scraper side that won’t scratch. But yes acrylic scratches very easily

First time building a stand and of course it has to be 8x4’ haha I’m confident it will support 120 gallons of water when I’m done with it
