Fast and furious progress. I'm not familiar with it but I do like it!

Yes I am going steel, I will get two stands made and then just bolt them together. I had to do that with the 400 I already have. Works great.

I have been thinking about the flow in this tank alot. I am going to by-pass the closed loop. I like my nems way too much. I am going to run three of the vertex moceans in the eurobrace and thenfour 6105' or 6205's. ( not sure on that one yet) on the sides. They will be run of of the tunze controller. I hope this will work well.

That's a hell of a lot of flow!! Guess you need it with 4 FOOT deep tank!! Have you seen the Vertex Moceans in action?

Can't wait to see this bad boy set up.

Well, it's been awhile and alot has changed. I had to buy a new truck for work. So I am not going with a bigger tank for now. I am going to set up the 250 gal. I got the new stand and went with 36" tall, I like the room under the stand. I got the new sump built finaly and will have the tank up and running over the christmas break. Here are a few pictures of the new sump, return pump and my new to me skimmer. All I need to add is the filter sock holders. Enjoy.

Yes I am, I just can't do anything else right now. Plus the live stock isn't liking the smaller tanks.

I hope every one had a great christmas and got lots of good stuff. The tank is finaly up on the stand and in place. I got all of the plumbing done, except for the drains. I forgot to get 2" pipe, I have all the fittings. Just need the pipe. I got the dry rock I had and the sand in. Tomorrow will be the drains installed and then fill it up. Here are a few pics.

White bg I've rarely seen that I think that could look killer man. Great idea with the valves on the returns. I found 90% of my flow went to the outer outlets and valves would have been nice.

Great looking tank. You'll love the ATI skimmer, if you don't already.
