Subman's Jump into the big leagues (225g)

Don't take any advice from me at this point as I have been taking things Very slowly. But I will say this;
Do not rush it, get it into place, have a look, plan stuff, take a week, plan it again, look it over, find the flaws, look it over, ...........
I re-made my sump 2 times and re-plumbed my tank once.
That's now my 3rd sump design and my 2nd drain plumbing, in case anyone is keeping track.

Hope all goes well for ya

I meant to mention, I'm up late too ......
Doing wiring and other stuff. Should be in bed and going that way soon but ran out of supplies and tried to find any little thing to finish before nodding off.
Damned hobby

Tank's lookin' great. Post more Pics

Actually, I should say, tanks lookin' HUGE

I'm gonna stick with my 75g for awhile, but you bigger guys are gonna help me talk the wife into going back to my 125g, or something the same 6 foot.
I got out of the 6' club due to living room space, but I can't help admire tanks like yours

When I brought the stand home my wonderful wife just shook her head and walked away. I Promised this one would look amazing. Now the pressure is on.
