not too many 8 footers around.

That sounds like a sweet tank as well

Hey I resemble that comment This tank is a keeper the wife will not let me go bigger. But there might be a another tank build at some point in time for my office.

So nothing really to update, had to stall for a short time because of shortage of cash, really need to sell my other tanks that are posted.

Plus I have to get my 65 hex set-up and plumbed with the 20 gal sump and CPR overflow in order to get my 75 corner empty.

Will update as soon as possible once I get more done.

Little update got the hole's drilled in the bottom of the tank for the closed loop. Now I can go get the bulkheads and PVC fitting's required.

Water catch tray for under pump's:


Start of the electrical panel, it will change a bit now that I found my timer's:



And here is my closed loop, well fitting's for the closed loop:

Everything that is in my 155 Bow Front will be going into it but there is a few more fish I would like to get, like a Powder Blue & Naso Tang & Koran Angel.

Lookin good Greg!......I noticed the beautifully cut holes in the plywood under the tank..... I would think about going bigger with those holes....when I cut my openings I left 1" from the outside edge of the bulkhead and it is very difficult to get a wrench in there for that last 1/4 turn you need to "seat" the bulkhead

No I am going to be using the programmable wall switch timer's that have a built in battery back up. Catherine is selling some and is holding them until I can get to Calgary to pick them up. I have the one's in the pic on my 155 BF and they are a pain in the but, as we have power flicker often out on the acreage.

Nice that will be much better
