I currently have a 180 gallon acrlic tank that will be upgraded soon to a 300 gallon glass. Here are some specs:
I ordered the tank earlier this year and it should be completed/delivered within the next couple of weeks. I have received the sump and fuge tanks as well as all the equipment.
Here are some pictures:
The initial sketch from the builder
Tank build in progress
Mitered corner
My sketchup drawings of the sump and fuge
The actual sump/fuge
I have all the other equipment sitting in the sump in the garage at the moment but no pictures of those at the moment.
I will document my build here with pictures of everything including my water change/ato station in my garage and other misc equipment (reactors, plumbing, apex, etc.)
Thanks for looking! Have a great day
