OK so I am tearing down my 75 gallon and moving it to a 110 rubbermade in the basement temporarily. I will be setting up a used 220 that I got from a member of the local club. He had it set up as a peninsula and drilled on the end with (2) 2" bulkheads. I will have it up against the wall in a corner and use the (2) 2" bulkheads, a custom internal black acrylic overflow made by Keith (DEERE G) and run all 2" plumbing into the sump. I will be building the stand from scratch and have it built attached to the wall in the corner. I will also build the light fixture from scratch out of aluminum and hang it over the tank. I want the top of the tank to be open. I figured I would show some pics of the items I have so far.
Here are a couple pics of the used 220. I replaced all the bulkheads and plumbing that were attached and have scraped it down with a razor. I just have a final cleaning to do once I am ready to move it into the house out of the garage. The tank only has two scratches on the back but was not a factor for me since I will be covering it with rock. I will take some better pics of the tank as I progress.
