ProStar Rimless 140 Build

[cmschmitz24]

Hello everybody!

I currently have a 65 gal fowlr with a canister filter and ato system running. After a short period of time I realized how much I enjoyed saltwater and upgraded to the prostar 140 (which was purchased at reef-a-palooza Chicago for a great deal this past fall).

I’m new to sumps, protein skimmers, and plumbing so the upgraded filtration makes me quite unsure if I’ve done the right thing but I’ve done my research and reached out to ask questions from the company that I purchased the tank from (they were very helpful). Fingers crossed lol.

In my first post, I mentioned that we have a Wisconsin Badger memorabilia basement and that I wanted to put an item inside my tank to go with the theme, however, many warned against this so that won’t happen. I’ve decided to make some vinyl cutouts for the cabinet doors instead which will mimic the badger’s forever forward logo.

I’m no where near completed yet but here are my current pictures of the build. Lots more to accomplish. Any comments or suggestions would be great!

Would you like this to be your build thread for this tank? I can move it over to member tanks for you if youd like:)

Welcome and best of luck. When you said some memorabilia I was thinking a dozen or so items. That looks like you could be in the Wisconsin football team's facility. Very nice!

Thats just one area! The whole basement is like that. All helmets and jerseys we have are game worn and signed. :)

YESSSSS!!! I want this tank for my next upgrade but I can't find anyone with it. Do you know if there is a warranty for this tank? I sent an email to Proclear and never got a response.

I just started a build on the 220, you can take a look at my build for information.

Actually I cannot remember and I don’t have anything in my email about that. The company I purchased from might have one though. The model I have I was told they are discontinuing.

I actually followed your sump/plumbing pictures! Your set up looks nice!

Awesome, if you want something Wisconsin themed in the tank, talk to AquaRocks on Facebook. He could make you a Wisconsin W that you could plant corals on. I had him make my whole rock scape when I went SPS.

Looks to be a really good build. Especially all those badgers around it ;) looking forward to seeing it full of water:)
