New tank question

Ray Laneville · Feb 19, 2019

Hello,
I purchased a new tank from amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002AS39S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is arriving next Monday. I have only purchased used before. Question is, what if any plumbing as far as overflow and return would a new tank typically come with? If I need to buy, I would like to order now so I have it when the tank arrives. I can't find anything online about this tank. Thanks

Most likely it will not come with anything but maybe a return, otherwise i'd assume it would be listed as a selling point. You will have to wait for it to arrive before planning out the build :(. I can not find anything on this tank either.. Can i ask why did you choose this system over others? I'm always cautious on anything that has zero reviews, no manufacturer website, and a weak description.

Per the website.....

Does not explain what you are getting but at least who is making it.

I always liked my AGA's when I had them. Built solid and reliable or at least the 120g AGA I had ~15 years ago was.

I do not see them mention anything about plumbing and such but it is quite simple and several people in the New Bern area would be more than happy to assist I'm sure.

What type of stand, sump, and equipment do you plan on using?

FOWLR, mixed, or reef?

Can't wait to see the build.

Thanks for the reply. I know how, just wondering what I need to order to have everything on hand to build. I already have a 90 running with homemade stand and homemade fuge. Luckily, I didn't finish the stand yet, just open frame and the new tank is same dimensions except for width so I can incorporate into one big stand which will look great I hope. The fuge I built is out of a 45 gal tank, I want to share between the tanks. I upgraded my skimmer to accommodate, have to see about the return pump.

I'm in a rush on this because last week, my son moved to NYC and couldn't bring his tank, tore it down and I inherited a bunch of corals and fish. Had fish acclimation issues and a couple of fish are now in my fuge, including a mandarin goby who is happily decimating my pod population. On top of that, at work I'm going to have to work about 3 weeks worth of 12 hour night shifts without a day off starting next Friday. No time for anything but basic maintenance. Time is of the essence here. Sorry, just venting

You can vent to us anytime. It's part of why we are here. ;)

Wish we were near so I could pitch in some on the tank.

Hi, just wanted to vent some more. Tank was supposed to arrive Monday 25th by FedEx. Still no tank. Fedex tracking says delayed, no expected date. The last entry in tracking was Friday 22nd left Charlotte. It takes a week or more to cross the state of North Carolina? The mule must have wandered off the trail or something. I hear that delivery speeds will be quicker when the iron horse comes through.

Got amazon to refund my money. that was bs. FedEx needs to drop the "express" from their name.

Wow, that's pretty amazing.

This long of a shipping experience cannot be good on what you had ordered. Honestly, I wouldn't have been surprised if you wouldn't have gotten the old Damaged In Shipment' notice at some point...argh
