this is all so much more advanced than anything ive got. im jealous.

 

[Raffle King]

That is a BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jgraz]

I have heard some great things about this skimmer. Plus at $400 brand new it couldn't be beat. Just have to build a stand.

 

[jgraz]

Few new additions, the Frag Farmers Market was good to me.

That's all for now. Thanks for looking.

Did you just spend all the money you made selling stuff

 

[jgraz]

I did a few trades as well.

Ok so no real updates here. The system is running well now and I'm hoping to have the room where the DT will go finished soon so that I can move forward.

The tank will go here

If your wondering that is not the footprint for a 200DD. It is the footprint of a 180gal. After considering cost, size of my fish, and location I decided that the 6' length would be more benificial then the 3' depth.


So if there is a mod avail please change the name of my thread from 200 to 180. Thx

Looks like the perfect spot for a 210 or 300DD.

The 210 I'm considering just trying to decide if I want the extra 4" depth. The 300 just isn't gonna happen. Would like to but my wallet tells me otherwise.

I had a 210 and ended up not liking the depth. Too hard to reach the bottom. I liked it less when it broke!

I was looking forward to the 36" width

 

[jgraz]

Room is almost finished. Got the floor in over the weekend and only have a little more painting left to do.

I'm still not sure if I need to brace the floor from underneath, but I probably will. Not sure what I should use for that so any ideas are welcome. My first thought was just 4x's from floor to studs but please offer so suggestions on that. The floor is 2x10 with 3/4" ply if that helps, and the tank will go on a outside wall. Thanks for looking.

Added: the tank will run perpendicular to the joists if that helps with the discussion.

 

[MatteZ]

Looks good. What material is the floor?

 

[iTzJu]

Floor looks awesome John.

Floor looks awesome John.

Thx guys.

Can't remember the name or company but it's a vinyl top with solid core. Click together type. I was looking for water proof here since it's the entry from outside, where there may soon be a pool, as well as the aquarium and also my dogs primary playing room.
