Well the time has finally come to upgrade once again... First off i will tell you all about me. And how i got into this hobby. First off, I am 20, and currently studying architecture at the University of Utah. So yes, I am a poor college student. Anyways this time last year my girlfriend (Now Fiance), went on her anual Hawaii Trip with her family... When she got back she showed me all of her cool pictures of her diving. And needless to say a few days after that we started watching tanked and became hooked... In October of Last year I wanted to start a salt water aquarium. Unfortunately all I could afford at that time was a 10 gallon... Luckily my dad had a lot of equipment when he ran a 55 years back... I first bought book after book and read it... I set up a 10 gallon with a HOB Filter and rocked it for a few months. I kept 3 yellow tail damsels and lawnmower Blenny. My first corals were a mushroom and a single head of a dendro... (Later it got stung and thought it died. It came back with 19 new heads.) I was always watching the fish tank as everyone does... I then found a deal on KSL and soon bought a freshwater Koi 75 gallon fish tank that included Powercompacts, Old school sump, and Skimmer. It had 100 Pounds of Lace rock and Black Sand.. I took the Koi up to my grandparents who have a 20,000 gallon pond and released them in there... I then cleaned the tank and built my own overflow...  I then Loaded it with over 75 Corals... Will post the list later when i put them in the 170. I also added numerous fish. And built my own LED's. My girlfriend, alexa was pretty excited, she decided to give me some ornements :/ Yes I had 2 Tiki's and a sand castle... Luckily Just last week I found my phosphates were creeping up and that was my only solution so I finally took them out... Alexa really loved the fish that wouldnt go well with a reef tank... She was inlove with the clown trigger... I then decided to surprise her with a 29 gallon Biocube... We soon cycled it and added some of her favorite fish Juvenile Clown Trigger, and a Naked Clown Fish w/ anemone... The clown trigger will move to the 75 when everything is transferred over... About a month ago, I almost bought a 180 but it was sold before i could get my hands on it... I knew i needed to get a bigger tank to continue the hobby. ------------- This is more than a hobby; its a lifestyle. |

Bill in Washington Terrace had been looking for a tank for me for a few months and he finally found one for me... a 240 for 200... I knew this sounded to good to be true. I set up a time we could meet to look at the tank... The guy said he was doing the dimensions on it and he thought it was bigger than a 240 he said possibly a 270... Even Better!!! Unfortunately when I saw it I knew it wasnt a 270. My guess was it was a 150... Everything that was included....
I got all this for $200!!... I had to hire my two meat head friends to help me move the darn thing..  A lot of the wood has water damage and i will be needing to replace it or fix it...

I would double check your tank dimensions. If that is 28" tall it must be only 12" or so wide. Just looking a the tank. Also load pictures straight from your computer.

Here is the stand with the tank as well.. The Tank needs to be cleaned... The stand will be painted or stained black after I reinforce the inside of the stand... The Stand is made of Particle board so i dont think that will hold up too long...  This is the back of the tank and stand...  Now do me a favor look at where the holes are drilled in the tank... The weirdest spots I have ever seen.. Now my question is where and how in the world am i going to pipe this thing and make it pleasing??? The outside holes i was thinking of using a straight pipe and Going straight up and having those be the 2 over flows. The 2 holes in the center of the freaking tank i was thinking of having it be the return but not going all the way to the top of the tank... I was thinking of bulkhead and immediately adding lock line having them push water into lower tank... If that makes sense... But my concern with that is what if the power goes out that thing will drain so fast because they wont be above the water by any means... Should i put a check valve on these? I just heard that subtracts from your GPH your pumps putting out and makes your pump work harder... Thought and suggestions appreciated...  What your looking at is from the back of the tank..  ------------- This is more than a hobby; its a lifestyle. |

I didn't mean to offend on questioning your tank size. If you look at your first picture you posted after stating the size you will see where my confusion is coming from. It has a black bracing and looks 12" wide. Your big tank has oak bracing and looks much more in proportions :) My guess is 2 holes are the drain and return and the other two are for a closed loop. The canister is a filter system. Seldom used any more. Im seeing several things I would be concerned over. One is there doesn't look like enough room in the stand deck for bulk heads. You will need to open the holes up a lot in order to install and tighten at a later time. You wont be hurting the deck at all to make good access holes. I would be very careful with that stand. Every body knows I have a thing against particle board stands. Ive seen way to many crash to the ground after a leak. Make sure you reinforce and repair all water damage. 170g is a lot of water. Edited for tank conversion: A 72x20x28 is 192 gallons ;) ------------- http://www.customaquariumfurniture.com" rel="nofollow - Bad "censored" Cabinets Best quality in the valley!

No you didnt offend me at all. . . Yeah i hate particle board too. . . But hey i get what i can take... I will plan on opening the holes on the deck more.. Also will be reinforcing and replacing part of the stand... Hmm ill just throw that canister away then... You say 72x20x28 is 192 gallons?? I did the math and even double checked online.. thats 40320 cubic inches.. that equates to a little over 174 gallons??

Few questions.. It came with two mumps a little giant Model 4 and a Model 4x. Model 4x pushes 1325gph and the Model 4 pushes 850gph so that total being 2175 Gph. on a 190 gallon tank.. I know its hard to say to much flow.. But would both of these running be too much? Or would it be fine?? Also plan on adding a an mp40 and an mp10.. Suggestions appreciated. Also the pumps are external pumps. But my sump is only drilled with one hole... Can I use this one hole and make it go to both the pumps?? Thanks ------------- This is more than a hobby; its a lifestyle. |

1 hole one pump. Its easy to drill for another. The 4x will be plenty with a mp40. (IMHO)I run a barracuda on a 200. with 4 mp 40's turned down. To much flow and you will tear coral flesh. ------------- http://www.customaquariumfurniture.com" rel="nofollow - Bad "censored" Cabinets Best quality in the valley!

Well finished the tank and the Stand, I reinforced the stand. Still have some touch up work, but i will do that when it gets in place..   Also did a water test. Turned out good, everything held up just fine.. The pipes wont be straight up i will be moving them over to the corners..  ------------- This is more than a hobby; its a lifestyle. |

Ok, I wont be able to run a Mp40 until i can afford one, so i will be using both pumps until then. I wont be using both pumps with one hole, because they would pull off each other and battle for water. But could i put both of the pumps outlets on the same line and then both splitting off and going to the seperate returns for the tank? Thanks ------------- This is more than a hobby; its a lifestyle. |

The single feed will restrict the flow and can cause cavitation . Drill the second hole.

Yeah i will be drilling a second hole but then could I merge both of the pump out lets into one pipe? Then seperating again to go to different returns on the tank.. ------------- This is more than a hobby; its a lifestyle. |

Yes yo can do that. However be sure its big enough. Like 1.5" Otherwise you will restrict the flow out of the pumps and not produce the results you want. ------------- http://www.customaquariumfurniture.com" rel="nofollow - Bad "censored" Cabinets Best quality in the valley!

Looking for a locking hinge to hold open part of the canopy... The piece of wood will be hanging vertically while closed. The top of the piece of wood will be connected to the canopy and thats where the piano hinge will be. But i am looking for a hinge that will hold it above a 90 degree when it will open..

Well, yesterday was the day of the move... I needed 90 gallons of water, and only have 20 gallons worth of jugs, and wasnt looking forward to hauling that much water.. But then mike at aquarium masters delivered 90 gallons of water, for an awesome price. Probably saved me 2 hours! After setting up the rock and then filling it with sand and water.. It was cloudy and couldnt set up all of my corals where i wanted, so i put them in the sump and separated them as much as possible.. And unfortunately some of my chalices got frisky and my pinkalicous chalice got stung pretty good.. Hopefully it will pull through... I probably lost some other corals as well.... I will be posting pics up tomorrow. ------------- This is more than a hobby; its a lifestyle. |

The 75 looks so small now..   Where i put all the frags until i could see where i was glueing the coral. And my naked clown..  Here is the tank, and the canopy.

Good work. Looks like it is all coming together. When the budget allows and you decide to upgrade your skimmer, you will be suprised how much your previous skimmer couldn't pull out (even as you empty the cup daily). If you have seen my build thread, we finally upgraded our old skimmer about six to nine months in. The new collection cup has over a gallon capacity and I emptied that thing daily for almost two weeks! ------------- A government strong enough to give you everything you want, is powerful enough to take everything you have. |
