Hustlers 300G Panzer Project (Up and Running)

Hustler · #1 10-03-2011, 01:40 AM

Here is my 300 gallon panzer project....... I named her panzer as she is a great big rock solid tank

Its 8 feet by 2 feet by 30 inches tall 3/4" glass and Immovable lol made by the magician Mitch himself

Its been run as a freshwater tank the last year but is in the middle of her salt transition as I type

Im very excited to see how she ages and what kinds of things I can do with her in a marine enviroment.
she has dual overflows in the back corners with dual dorso's and a Monster pool/spa pump for the return as of now.
The skimmer, carbon/gro reactors and live rock are a week or two away so I will start here with my journal.
Any comments or ideas are more than welcome.... this will be a long journal

On the truck.

1400lbs shipping weight all together..... still snuck it on the power tailgate with 8 guys and 2 flats of beer

rough 100 gallon sump

Direct plummed into the city drain for overflow emergencies

Overflow guts quiet as can be with 60gpm flowing

Nice, this is the exact size my tank is going to be with starphire front, sides & euro-brace.

This tank was by far the heaviest thing I have ever had to move by hand.....
3/4 glass is just silly..... And drilling.... Nerves of steel and budwieser

I have a 320 in the shop im trying to find a good use for aswell..... maybe a frag tank???
its 80"x34"by27" Still dirty as i moved it in on friday and havent hosed it out yet but she has potential

So will that drain remove water every time the tank shuts off or is the level shown already at shut off level? Got a p-trap on that drain somewhere?

Nice looking tank.

Its just a fail safe now for power outages, With the freshwater system it was a constant drip waterchange to that level. It definately has a P trap
