New 225 build

[grifter]

Got my stand. Now waiting for my tank next week. Then the skin and canopy in two. Two years saving for this build and support from my wife. Can't wait to start plumbing this thing.

Thank you. Miss my old 75 but had to sell when we moved and it took this long

Yeah man, two years is a fair amount of time waiting. I know you must be excited! Happy for you [emoji106]

Now since you have the first part out of the way you can really get to brass tacks on planning your setup. I'm sure you've already spent a lot of time reviewing different gear and so on. But now it's time to really decide lol. I am in early planning stages for a small bow front. So I know how anxious you have been, and how excited you must be now. I got it used and was told it's a 30 gallon but after doing measurements it looks more like a 28 gallon. So far I have the tank stand and a T5 light fixture

I should probably be patient like you, and wait until I can set up a 75 gallon. But I already have this tank and I just can't wait to get my feet wet LOL.

Everyone says they can't wait to start plumbing, until they actually start plumbing.. :) Seriously though, have fun!

Is it a 48" footprint?? or am I just spatially impaired.

I have my gear already planned and have collecting bits and pieces. Going xr30 for lights and a calcium reactor for dosing.
