Arsonmfg Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Nice! I recognize that tank =) Good plan on putting the center brace back in, the glass on there looks to thin to be safe trimless with no center brace. The last thing you want is 150 gallons of saltwater flooding your house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing you want is 150 gallons of saltwater flooding your house! Have you seen the tank of were you the original owner ? I know the previous 2 owners. If not whare did ya see it? Ya, It's 1/2 inch glass, Ive seen it full of water without the center brace and it really doesn't bow out but I just am one that side's on caution and likes the overbuilt policy!

ThePremiumAquarium Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Honestely I think it is probably plenty thick but better safe then sorry so to speak. Nice score!!! I am excited to watch the build. Congratulations on getting a nice large tank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reef165 Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Well, it had water in it 2 days before I got it so to be fair I didnt halfto do much but clean it all up and do a little fixen on the stand. Plus with all my livestock in my small sump I was in a hurry to get them into the tank. here's a pic of the tank just before I tore it down to move it.

reef165 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 The clown school was dismantled, they all started fighting and I lost (they died) 4 of them. I kept one and traded the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reef165 Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 New addition, a PS-3000 kinda overkill for my tank but I dont beleave in to much skimming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylaster Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 looks great, no problems making the transition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef165 Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 With skimmers, no. It took about a day for the skimmer to produce skimmate and then I adjusted it and it's working so good! I've already got about a 1/4 inch of green / brown slury in the collection cup after only one day of post adjusted skimming. I must say I'm loven the new skimmer!
