200 gallon Lagoon Tank Build

[omalleyreefs]

97x37x14 - 8 ft long, 217 gallon lagoon tank build

Had to cut the stand to get it into my house. Spent all week reinforcing stand and plumbing. I’ve decided to connect a GEO sump to an old waterbox sump around 30 gallons around 50 gallons I had been using before my waterbox 220.6 burst.

Total water volume should be roughly 260-280 gallons when all is said and done. Will post more pics tomorrow!

They are popping out of the water. Thinking about adding some mangrove trees to maximize lagoon effect… open to ideas as well

I’m excited. Going to be finishing off the plumbing today and running leak tests! Today we fill her up!

Sorry for the delay…. I’ve been painting pipes and had to rebuild my pipes after a stupid mental mistake…. Oof we are still going strong with the build but man am I getting a PhD in plumbing

Absolutely love the tank dimensions-- long, wide, shallow.

Thank you Jumbo! It’s really growing on me. Pray I can get this plumbing situation locked in tomorrow.

I have PTSD from my waterbox 220.6 front seam previously bursting so I’ve been very meticulous with this build.

(Check out the first couple of photos on my tank build thread-- I started out with only about 10" of water, Lol!)

Trying to learn from others what issue did you have with plumbing?
