Renton's Evolution from 200 to 440 gallons

[Renton777]

My new tank plans are:

Display Tank & Stand
108" long x 40" wide x 26" tall
Front Panel - Low Iron glass
Black vinyl background
Ghost (or similar overflow) with removable weir
4 Returns drilled in back, 3/4"

32" tall Aluminum powder coated stand

Frag Tank & Stand
60" long x 30" wide x 18" tall - Peninsula Style
No Star Fire
Black vinyl background
Ghost (or similar overflow) with removable weir
2 returns drrilled in back, 3/4"


30" tall Aluminum powder coated stand


I did get 4 x 100 gallon rubbermaid stock tanks that I plan to plumb together as a system in my family room as holding system. It will allow me to keep certain coral and fish separate and space things out during the transition with one tank being the filtration and such.

We are going to tear the carpet out of that room and put down porcelain tile up to where the current tanks are. Then when I tear down the current tanks we will finish the floor in that area and then install the new tanks.

I have a bunch of willing (and unwitting) volunteers that are forming committees for the various phases of the project. There will be a light rack building/hanging party, a rock structures building party, tank tear down party, tank plumbing party.

Oh, my head is spinning again from the thought of this project ;Vomit

Oh wow! Sounds like it's going to be a huge task but you've got a plan so that will really help! I can't wait to watch it happen :D

I know that screen name! Thanks for contributing to my new tank fund by buying frags! Gonna be another great swap!

I like to party.

Very Quick Cellphone video update. I have a new GoPro, perhaps I should play with that later.

 

[YHSublime]

When you said quick, you meant it! Don't even tease us with that GoPro talk, just break it out and show us more!

 

[Renton777]

Slightly longer, no prep videos with the GoPro :D. Might be able to tell that a frag swap is coming up soon.

 

[Renton777]

For some reason the GoPro could not pick up the Superman Tenuis right in the middle of the frag tank, its blue in real life not neon purple/pink.
