I remeasured the door way and found the new measurements will not fit through the door. So back to the old measurement 72 1/4"lenght, 30 1/4"width x 36"height. The sump dimension have to change too 72"lenght x 26"width x 22"height. Water level height 16". Skimmer stands height 6".

I finely got my stand on last tuesday. Last night I took some time figureing out where I sould place the tank.
The stand is 72 1/2"x30 1/2"x34 1/2". Good thing I changed my stand height. I had to remove the down stairs hand rail and door to get it in to the basement.

Now I now that a 280G tank will go down the stairs.

Here are some pic's

Awesome. Before you get too much further, I would consider adding some additional power circuits to that wall. You don't want to be running everying off that single plug.

Definately going to be following this one. Loved your two tanks and definately want to see what you're going to be able to do with this.

Thank you. The 90es are great beginner tanks to learn from. I just found that they are a bit narrow and short in length for my liking. This is going to a great build.

Hopefully Kevin has a set of suction cups he can lend you. I hauled a 280 the same dims as yours into my basement and let me tell you it wasn't easy. I would recommend 4 suction cups and 5 or 6 guys.
