Don't feel bad, we all make newbie mistakes, but we're all here to help out.

Hahaa not sure what to make of that comment...

They shipped the tank on the bottom, as it is the heaviest item, then a sheet of 5/8" Plywood across the top of the tank, then the stand and canopy. all on a big pallet.

The Overflows on all Marineland tanks are drilled for 2 x 1" Bulkheads.

with the dual corner overflows, i am going to use a snapper to return from the sump to the tank, and i have some of the new EVO Hydors, that are controllable by the Profilux, and a few MP40W's.

Who did you end up buying the tank from?

cav~firez22 · #16 03-18-2010, 02:32 AM

Purchased the tank through Interior Reef

I'm guessing the returns are 3/4"?

So how are you going to get the forklift in your house to move the darn thing?!?! How heavy is it? My buddy and I moved my 180 to the basement and I thought I was going to die!
