My custom 233

[mfinn]

I am having Oceans By Design build me a custom tank. The dimensions are 72" long x 30" front to back x 25" tall.

Here are some drawings they sent me of my future tank.

Wanting to see this thing when it's done!

That looks great! I assume it is glass??

Yes, it is 1/2" glass.
Front panel and right side panel are starfire glass.

No need to make the left side panel any more expensive, it's up against a wall.

You and me both. :)

I just found out that no pieces were broken.

I didn't understand what was said.

More of a error by the glass supplier.

Which means what? It's almost done now?

Which means what? It's almost done now?

It's getting close.
My hoped for pick up day is the 19th.
But as with any custom build, I need to be flexible.

I guess the word on their build quality is getting out there.
Sounds like they are getting more orders all the time.

A few supplies that I picked up.
The Reeflo Snapper/Dart Hybrid is for a closed loop.
I'll be using a new Eheim 1262 for a return pump.

Yeah last time I was there Mike had a tank that was shipping out to Cali! And he had a lot of tanks being put into the works.

Hey Martin is this going to be your new softy set up or are you doing something else with it?

 

[mfinn]

Planning on maybe doing a mixed reef this time. Softies and lps.
First thing is to move everything that is in the 240 now, out to holding containers, get the tank in and plumbed.
Then move back everything that I'm going to keep.
I plan on adding a few more fish. I've always had a low fish load on this tank.

 

[ak_reefer]

Right on. Can't wait for the build!

 

[spspirate]

WOW! This should be a heck of a build!

Sweeeeeet!
