Well thought since I just joined you I would start a build thread on my new tank. As I stated in my welcome thread we went from a 40 to 60 to 120 to our new lovely 265. When we decided we wanted to go big we wanted to go as big as our space would allow. After measuring and walking the area we decided on a 84x30wx24t tank. We didn't want a taller tank so that Maint wouldn't be too bad. The job of building the tank and sump went to John from Advanced Acrylic. Thanks goes also to Jason from tropical reef fish store for helping and arranging all of this for me. He has been a huge huge help in all our success. Back to the tank. Once the size was decided on to the overflow. An external overflow was what we went with giving us max space in the tank with no obstruction. Also 4 return holes and 3 drain holes would be drilled. 3/4 acrylic used all around and the 2 of the largest opening.gs possible on top. A custom 3 chamber sump was made for the tank as well. Here are some pics of it the day we got it. Johns work was awesome and I could not have asked for anything better
