Well I recently had the chance to upgrade from a 150 gallon 72x18x30 to a 270 gallon 72x36x24. I decided to take a few pictures and start a build thread because I like to look through other build threads and see what others have done. So here it goes.
Here is the old tank and where it sat.
And a pic of the sump in the basement directly under the tank. Notice the extra support, that much weight kind of scares me on the second floor. I only use the basement for storage anyways.
First I removed some of the laminate flooring. I wanted to set up the 270 and keep the 150 running because I really didn't know where to store all the live stock if I took down the old tank before putting up the new one.
I bought the tank from crtzry from Saskatoon here on saskreef. He was moving house and all I had to do was get it to Moose Jaw. The movers were there moving all his stuff out so they just grabbed the tank and threw it in my vehicle. Nice.
We took apart the stand and then I reassembled it back home.
Here is some pics of the plumbing
