I'm curious why the new tank is so tall? Is there a specific fish it is intended for that require the extra height ?

The tank came out of an orthodontist's office where it was a saltwater set up. They new office tenant didn't want the tank. They guessed it was a 75g! When I first saw the CL ad I thought it was 4ft square which really got me interested. All the pictures were taken from one side giving that illusion. I even asked if it was 4ft square and they said sounds correct.
I almost didn't take it when I arrived and saw it was smaller 😆 .
All the bulkheads have silicone on them and no gaskets :swear::wall:. It's acrylic and it was free so first world problems.
The sump is good size too. 30x13x18in
Built the base for another outstanding piece of furniture. I had to modify it once I realized the bulkhead wouldn't clear.
3.5in wide overflow

Full of water, I added a black trash bag back ground after these were taken.

Moved the inhabitants of the 220g over to the 260g. Added a few more plants from one of the 29g tanks.IMG_0520.jpegIMG_0519.jpeg
 
Overflow arrived. I had not been able to find my drilling template so i used the measurements from a post on the Reef2Reef forum. I then found my template after I was done and it would not fit over the two 1.5in bulkheads I had installed. :cry: They were to close together by 7/16in.
Whoever put the measurements on R2R was correct though :headbang2IMG_0580.jpegIMG_0579.jpeg
