Ok got the tank today very good condition and is horribly heavy! About 500 lbs. For filters I got a magnum 350 cycling as well as a Eheim 2260 and an FX5 hopefully. I have 3-300 watt heaters for it 2 got given to me and it's going in a room that stays at a constant temp of 78 degrees so I am all good. Not running a sump for a while till I get one. I'll get pics tomorrow because I am about to go to bed. I almost got crushed trying to get it into my truck lol. I got also 4 undergravel filters and some AWESOME DW. If you want voss you can help me set it up lol! Do you still got those PBass LOL. I would love to have them now. Pics tomorrow will explain everything tomorrow but now I can consider myself a monsterfishkeeper with a tank over 240 gallons.

Here's the tank. the brown is just the plywood showing through the worn blue epoxy. It has some rust but I am going to grind it down with a low speed grinder and just paint over. The inside of the tank it going to get fresh beads of silicone on the edges and I am going to sand down the inside with a DA sander with 180 grit sand paper and epoxy it over black. I still think it looks good for a 16 year old tank. Glass is 3/8th and will get buffed. There is also a pvc drain on the bottom of the tank so that will be hooked up to my washing machine drain and I will have a drip system on it with a small RO/DI. What do ya think?
