Awesome build! Any issues with the 28" height so far? How high off the ground is the tank? (I am considering a 28" high tank too)

Definitely along for the ride!

I just got a 28" tall 210g tank on Saturday, all I can say is stainless steel BBQ tongs are your friend...

Thanks everyone. I have plenty more pics and updates to come.

No issues with the height. I have a stepstool and ladder I use to help reach the bottom. Luckily I have access from the front and rear of the tank, otherwise it would be near impossible to get to the bottom. Due to the size of the tank I can also lay across the top of the tank. That gives me access to anyplace I need to get to. I also use plastic tongs when I don't feel like sticking my arm in the tank. They are a BIG help.

Now that most of the build is done; Knowing what you know now, Would you have done anything differently?

 

[mgdmirage]

This may be one of the most well thought out and beautiful build I have ever seen. I can't wait for more updates!

 

[Tenacious716]

Very well thought out and executed build thus far; can't wait to see this system come to life!

 

[Reloadeddevil]

Very nicely and neatly executed. Tagging along.

How long have you been planning this build? Obviuolsy, you built the house and designed the room in. Very cool!

 

[Sps Dream]

One of the best and clean set up i've seen, bravo

Simplicity is the key

 

[scott9119]

Wow. Not much else to say .

 

[eliramos]

thats what im talking about!!!!

 

[ReefPiracy]

Way to light the tank up. Way to spare no expense. Sand will be fine once tank gets broken in.

 

[Sacohen]

Very nice.
It's great to be able to plan for it from scratch rather then just fit it where you can.

What are the 2 tanks above the sump for, QT?

 

[uall8up]

Amazing!!! Looking forward to more!!!

Good to know. The space I have will allow for 90x22x__ in the same viewing configuration as yours (no back access though) and I'm eyeballing a lot of the same gear, so I'm really interested in seeing how everything will come along for you. I'm 6'3" with 30" of arm from armpit to fingertip - I figured 28" would be fine if I have the tank a little lower to the ground, but I may have to mock up something to see how big of a stretch that'll be - literally. I always wished my 125 was a little taller, but maybe that just sounds good in theory...

Holy cow! One of the cleanest builds iv seen and its only 30 mins away!

 

[Mr E Wrasse]
