300 gallon tank - the project begins!

Thanks, appreciate the compliments.

I received a couple more goodies today. First off is the hole saw and bulkhead from www.glass-holes.com. They included an extra goody!

The other piece of the puzzle that arrived was the reeflo dart pump.

how are u gonna be able to fit a 75 gallon in side of it, if u close the side off?

 

[LowCel]

I am going to put the 75 in before I put the sides on the stand.

 

[xdragonxb0i]

so u would have todeassemble itto move the tank
What about making a door for the side

 

[LowCel]

The tank is going to be close to a wall on each side once it is in place so there wouldn't be anyway to get it in there anyway. The only way it is going work is to put the 75 gallon in the stand, put the sides on, then put the tank in place.

The way it is being built I will only have to remove four to six screws to remove a side anyway so it wouldn't be a big deal regardless.

The stimulus package I received paid for one of the 2x4's.

With mine I was only able to buy two BK burger shots

Ughhh, the 75 didn't come in on the truck today. I just called all of the local shops and only one of them have a 75 in stock! To make it worse they want $177 plus taxes for it!

I picked up the new 75 gallon tank and brought it home. I removed it from the truck, sat it up on it's end, then I did this to it!

I just finished putting in the bulkhead, putting in the glass panels, and putting the first coat of paint on the back of the sump. I thought I had plenty of eggcrate but I was wrong. I'll pick some up tomorrow and finish the sump up.
