Pat's 200 Upgrade Aug 2009 Pics
Well, it has been a busy weekend! I picked up GSP's 200 gal tank last Thursday evening. Rented a U-Haul trailer and coerced my son and friend to help me move tank and stand. Spent the last few days:
- tearing down 120 gal tank, put everything into buckets and bins - moving out 120 gal tank and stand - moving in 200 gal tank and stand - transferring rock, fish and corals into 200 - plumbing in 200 - painting lights - hanging lights - running another electrical circuit for 3x400w MH - setting up ballasts - putting out small electrical FIRE! - replacing burnt out wiring on ballast Here's the old FTS:  New tank FTS:  I ordered some Sunlight Supply 95% reflective aluminum sheets to line the refectors. They are just painted right now. I will also install fans into each reflector for cooling and then I have to add some actinic lights and a wavebox. Then... You know the story. LOL Last edited by pterfloth; 08-11-2009 at 03:36 AM.

This tank looks amazing. Well done.
The old aquascaping looked good, but the new aquascaping looks great.
