That is a great size. Would give you plenty of room for a QT or frag tank also.

Agreed. Don't forget about the display refugium I am adding ( 75 gallon).

Ugh, drywall. The most dreaded home improvement task. Big project that is coming along nicely. What is the flooring going to be?

Thank you. With this being a basement with a concrete sub floor, we are going to make the bathroom, under the tank area plus a foot on the perimeter, patio door entry way all vinyl flooring. Which we did pick up yesterday. The res of the area will be carpeted due to CO basements running cold generally speaking. We also picked out the carpet yesterday as well.

We are installing the bathroom floor tonight to set the toilet in order to get final inspections complete and no longer have to deal with inspections.

This is going to be epic! Your old 260 is coming along well. I’ll start the build thread when I get a spare second of time. Looking forward to this dream build of yours coming together.

Rick& Vanessa did a great a job on this one. I am very excited to start building fish related things! Only a few weeks out

We’re both in the same boat, waiting for our CDA tanks. I put my deposit down on 1/16, so you’re about a week ahead of me. I’m rooting for you to get your tank/stand early, cause mine should follow shortly .

I‘m also going peninsula style, 74x32x24 with steel stand. I looked at all the custom sump makers, since I want a wider sump. Synergy definitely makes drool worthy sumps, but they were EXPENSIVE compared to others!! But that’s certainly a beautiful sump.

Looking forward to your updates. We’ll be setting up at the same time (I hope).

Nice! Congrats on the new tank. I did put my deposit down actually in December (16th ish). I am hoping to get the tank at the end of March!

The sump was pricey, but quality comes with a price and honestly if you look at the cost percentage wise. It is nothing compares to the tank and stand etc. Like 10%. Where did you end up getting your sump from?

Let's see your build thread!
