I couldnt get the 300g into the room I want so off to storage
I just assembled an Oceanic 135g which was a late model display for a cabinet maker of aquariums. It came with stand and canopy- All Real Oak and triple overflows and all manuals and guides from Oceanic. Just a beautiful tank.
This one will be a " Fish Only " tank as I want some nice angels and butterflies and tank with color !!

are you going to QT them or go the "natural way and let the immune system fight it off?
I hear they can be harder to QT.

like crushed coral? or rock rubble? hmmm breaking all the "rules" haha
I am excited to see this bad boy come together.
Coral chunks/sm rubble as tank will be fish only. No sand for sure as it will simply clog the lower and center intakes of the overflows
