My 210g is up and running, CHECK IT OUT!!!!

[jcardona1]

Well, this is just a trial run, will be moved indoors next weekend and the fish will be transfered over from my 100g. Tank is 210g sitting on my DIY stand that I finished a few days ago. The sump is a Del Rey rated for 240g filled with about 130 pot scrubbies. This tank will also have an FX5 hooked up to it.

Pump is a Quiet One 4000 (1000 gph) with a CPR CS-102 overflow box and Aqualifter pump. The CPR unit works like a charm! Tank return is a DIY spray bar. All piping is 1". The drain hoses on the overflow box are a little old so I may be replacing these with some new ones shortly.

This tank has come a LONG way since I picked it up a few weeks. It had a fugly stand and it had wood-colored trim. Let me know what you guys think!!!

Oh, and pay no mind to the water level, my garage floor isnt level

How will you mount the tiles? I mean are they going flush against the bottom or are they going on top of the egg-crate?
