280g Mixed Reef
Well I figure I should finally get around to doing a tank journal. Unfortunately, it won't have the detail of some of the other great build threads here. My 280g has been running for almost four months now. The majority of the livestock came from my 125g which was established for a year and a half before this upgrade happened. Thanks to Canreef, the 125g which was my first saltwater tank was a great success. A year and a half after getting the saltwater addiction it was time for an upgrade.
I picked up the tank used off of a fellow canreefer and I must say without those suction cups I don't think the tank would have made it home in one piece. http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/p...0/P5230575.jpg Made it through the door http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/p...0/P5230578.jpg Tipped it down the stairs http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/p...0/P5230579.jpg and into the basement http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/p...0/P5240583.jpg Here is the stand that I slapped together and I have still yet to finish it http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/p...0/P6190602.jpg and the sump on wheels waiting for its resting place http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/p...0/P6190600.jpg |
A few more pics with water in the tank:

Nice overflow! Man I wish my 280g was like that.
Tagging along, can't wait to see the rest of it all, if since it's already running! :) |

I like the sump design, especially the dropped down edge for skimmer accessibility.
Look forward to seeing more pics... :mrgreen: |
Awesome tank man.... We need more pictures though!!!

I'm looking at building a tank stand something along that design. Can I ask why you reinforced the top part of the stand but not the bottom (the cross pieces)? |
