I don’t know how to say this nicely as u are mad and u should be but I feel u should get something back the excessive money spent on an in wall stand and some of the weird choices in equipment and now the lie about the tank makes me think ur local fish store only has their best interest and bank account at heart and not ur build.Yes. I'm so upset right now. Originally in 3/23/2019 I ordered a 270 Gallon 84x24x30 but as mentioned previously that never came. The LFS then ordered a 96" tank and telling me it was 310 Gallons. He specifically told me 96.5 x 30.5 x 25 but obviously that's wrong.
Ironically I've been eyeing the 96in tank from planet that is a some what standard style tank thru my lfs. Been wondering if its 30in deep and 25in tall or vice versa. But idk if I want to take the chance thats whats going on. Enjoy your tank though. Its a good looking tank.To my huge surprise and disappointment I went down and measured it instead of going based on the dimensions that I was told was purchased (which I should have done in the 1st place) I find the dimensions are 96" x 24" x 25" and not 96'5" x 30.5" x 25" like I was told. So I'm really glad you asked. So it's more like a 240 Gallon tank instead of a 310 Gallon tank. I'm so confused and frustrated right now. I'll have to figure out what happened.
Good to hear about TBS. A little disappointed they never got back to me but we'll see.I did an inwall for my 1st build. Hated working on it. TBS is nice. Used them on my last build
Just trying to keep things positive at the moment. Thanks for the reply.I don’t know how to say this nicely as u are mad and u should be but I feel u should get something back the excessive money spent on an in wall stand and some of the weird choices in equipment and now the lie about the tank makes me think ur local fish store only has their best interest and bank account at heart and not ur build.
I would confront them and try to get something back as they are not giving u what they promised. And if not tell them there is other lfs stores that u would rather support
Thank you. A little less excited than I was but I still want to get it going at some point.Ironically I've been eyeing the 96in tank from planet that is a some what standard style tank thru my lfs.

Well u do have an awesome set up that anyone would love to have so that shouldn’t be to hard to doJust trying to keep things positive at the moment. Thanks for the reply.
Following your build, lookin good! I am interested in seeing your shipment from TBS, please post pics.Last night, just mixed about 100 Gallons of Saltwater, pumped it into the tank and heated it to 76 degrees. Getting ready for the Live Sand and half the Live Rock arriving tomorrow.
Also received my two 75 Gallon water containers earlier this week.
How much water are you able to make and store?So a quick recap of Day#1.
-I'd be lying if I didn't say I was a little disappointed that a couple more pieces of bigger rock didn't come.
-So I mixed the bag of brown bacteria and put it in the tank and kept the skimmer off for 5 hours or so.
-I also took out the filter socks (doing for 48 hours) and dropped in 16oz of Dr. Tim's One and Only Nitrifying Bacteria.
-I tested the Ammonia before I went to bed and it was already at .5 ppm.
Now I just need to focus on keeping the Ammonia below 1 ppm. Not sure my RO system will be able to make enough water in time for the water changes....
I have a lot of nerves right now to say the least but that's where I'm at.
Thanks for the reply! Greatly appreciated. I don't really see any hitchhikers...not alive anyway. I saw a starfish, and one crab. That's it so far.That's a bunch of rock already. As for the ammonia, it will settle quickly. Not sure what kind of scape you are going for. Imagine 2 times the rock you have now. If you think it will be to much, try to have someone lined up to either give or sell to. Also get rid of as many undesirable hitchhikers as you can now. Gorilla crabs was all I had. I love the pistol shrimp. My tanks been up for 3+ years and I still find stuff. The urchins must breed in my tank. I started with at least 10 and I still have 9. The bristle stars he sends are cool as well.
To me, the biggest downfall to TBS is aquascaping. With it showing in 2 deliveries, you have no idea how to prepare for the better looking rock when it shows up.
5 Gallons every 90 minutes is how much I can make currently. As far as storing it, the LFS didn't hook up my 75 Gallon water tanks yet so I have lots of buckets and a tub and am currently doing everything manually.How much water are you able to make and store?
