My current tank is a 60 Gallon 24x24x24 tank that I have in my living room. I've had it a couple of years and there's simply nothing else I can put in my tank. I've been dreaming of having a bigger tank where I could put more coral and more fish and I finally decided to go for it.

I ordered a 270 Gallon tank on 3/23/2019 from my LFS. Unfortunately after about 6 months and it not showing up, the tank order was cancelled and I placed a new order for a 240 Gallon tank from a different company.

Tank/Equipment Details
Planet Aquariums 96" 240 Gallons (96" x 24" x 25"), Crystal Front Glass, Black Silicone, Internal Overflow, Black Background
Bashsea SS-60 60x15x16 Ferrari Signature (Sump)


10/28/2019 - Tank shipped from Arlington TX and arrived to Northfield OH where my LFS signed for it and took a picture for me.

10/29/2019 - LFS brought tank to my house for the fun part. Getting it in the basement. WOW was this heavy!!

Here's a few pics of getting it down the basement stairs. Top of the stairs...

Weren’t you scared to death to frame and drywall above and all around your beautiful new tank? (Following— great job).
