Starting a 280 - 72 X 36 X 24
 

Hi all, its been awhile since I have posted, got the move done to High River and now I have a new 280 being built. Will start posting pics when the tank arrives (Cody) says maybe this week.But I have a quick question, is 1 inch blue sm styro foam too thick to place on top of the 3/4 inch plywood, my last 180 was on the 1/2 inch and worked well, just a little unsure of the 1". Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I've seen tanks on 1.5 inches so i'm sure you should be okay.

I use 1" blue styrofoam sheets from Rona all the time. Works well & nicer for tanks than HD's pink sheets.

If the foam is not hidden then you can pick up at Rona 1/2 thick rubber flooring 2' x 2' pieces that fits together like a puzzle. You can get it in black and it has worked very well for me.
BTW nice size tank I would love to have 36" depth.

Are you going to start a tank diary?

Yes I am going to try, I guess the first shots should be us humping the tank down the yard to the walkout, no fun there.

Those are some nice dimensions. Can't wait for pics!

280 build
 

Here are shots of the move and the tank placed on the stand.

Nice
 

Looking good so far...Keep the update coming:biggrin:

Appears you have a room behind, why the space above the tank in the front?
