Finding Sauce (a lot of tanks in a little time) RSR 250 Nem tank

[LRT]

Lowkey in already planning on to install one at the base of the chandelier in the living room, staring down directly at the tank..

That would be perfect man. They look best at top down angle!

Last time I painted the back of a tank, I used acrylic black and it scratches off of the glass way too easily.

Any reason to not use black krylon rattle can this time around?

3 coats, still tough ,but will scratch too,just wont peel.

Krylon base for the clean look, then a coat or two of rubberized ?

I've got knock off rhino line in a can just sitting here.

Caught and took the flame angel and dottyback to the shop today. I'm happy with the trade.
This was about 30 minutes after introduction to the tank. I didn't roll the lights back this time. This thing never even closed.

Also got this set up temporarily to qt some tangs that are en route. My primary is at the end of a cycle and won't be free for 2 weeks yet.

180 gets here tomorrow. A few weeks early...

No filter blue bomb

It's just a box of water and I'm already staring. How on earth am I supposed to be productive at my desk when I can just turn and stare? I'm screwed when there are swimmers in there!

New Box o Glass is on Deck!

Vizio framed 180g
72"x24"x24"
Black Silicone visible seams, double clear bottom.
Three 1" holes in the overflow will accommodate a Bean animal style plumbing.
Three 1" holes drilled in the rear to accommodate 2 returns and a possible dedicated return for the UV. We will see.

The Box:

With the overflow location, I opted to try something I haven't seen much of because I'm a tinkerer, and to maximize viewing angles. Ghost overflow wasn't an option. I didn't want external pipes to the right of the tank.

This thing looks MASSIVE to me and carrying it inside was the opposite of awesome.

For reference, while laying on the Kitchen table laying, this tank is almost one Sauce long.

I'm extremely excited about this!

First tank I've purchased new. It's not a Glass Cages or similar "dream tank", but it was designed my me to my specs, and I'm happy with the fit and finish versus price point.

Thanks for looking, and strap in for a whirlwind of stuff that needs done, before it sees water.
