- 240 gallon build setup stingray
Thank you sir. Gotta pick up some more plumbing today, and hopefully I can start wrapping the stand today, and maybe even start drilling the bulkheads
Haha. Almost there. Just gotta get the back connectors, stand in, decorations ect.. That should go fast
One problem, gotta go support the floor underneath it. Another day's work but it should be fine. A row 3 of doubled up 2" x 4" every 2' and we shall be all good
Plumbing goes like this, 1" bulkheads first for the aquatops, 1" tube then got reduced to 5/8" with a reducer, the returns are 3/4" bulkheads with the loc line nozzle.
Fx6- two 1" bulkheads, normal strainer, just need to find loc line big enough for it
Sump- 3 (1") bulkheads, 2 for intake, one for output, I decided to go with the low profile strainers for the intake.. Again just need to find the loc line
I guess to add to this thread, if someone wants to set up a 240 gallon I'll add the build cost up.
3 canisters- $600, Tank-$450, stand, canopy- $70 (for now), plumbing-$110 give or take.
So right now I've got $1,230 in this project
Still got to do- sump, lighting, substrate, bio media, decor, fish, paint for back and stand.
As the thread continues I'll keep adding up the cost that the project has taken to make

Haha it's a pain in the butt. Tomorrow I've gotta go under the house to reinforce the floor, now that's gonna be a pain
Easily my least favorite tank thing to do. Good luck man.
