I am so excited to finally get my dream set up running.
for the size of this tank and equipment my built might be the cheapest around since i did most of the work myself and trying to continue to be as cheap as possible.

Good luck with the build. Is the tank made out of acryllic?

also it looks like all of my fish including the soon to be acquired harlequin tusk will be on my 300 gallon tank for hyposalinity treatment.

i moved the tank with the help of my wife using caster
just waiting for the plumbing , more water

my 300 gallon QT

also my newly acquired regal angel died yesterday

How do the seams bust on the tank, are there not good tank builders around there. I always loved acyllic but people always talking of how easy it gets scratched. By the way good luck with your new tank.

thanks.
the old tank never bust!It is also an acrylic.
BTW i just scratch it yesterday despite of great preparation.
.5" mostly unnoticeablebut i know its there!

glass(starphire) is great but not for a big tank here in California

Cooper Inc · 04/07/2010, 10:16 AM

what does using starphire have to do with SoCal? just curious, maybe I'll learn something new. Great build by the way.

King001 · 04/09/2010, 01:40 AM

last earthquake my 300 move so much but not damage
435 gallons might be too much for a silicon to hold and i can't risk that!

Bax · 04/09/2010, 05:54 PM

Looks great bullitr!

Too bad about the regal though!

Love the kiddie pool full of fish!!!

bullitr · 04/09/2010, 11:22 PM
