Tank Build! 220 gallon build

Did some changing to sump and lines. Should be able to start filling with water on tuesday. Hooked up electrical and installed breakers today. Had to cut baffles out of sump and redo with the new setup for filter socks. Should be done and filled up this week. Can't wait.

 

Better have it up and running in time for our meeting! You know since it's at your house and all.

 

Yes that is the plan. Don't want to have an empty tank when people come over

 

Looks good Zoobie! I won't be at the meeting but would like to stop and see it after its up and running.

 

Thanks. No problem just pm me I get home at 3:30 everyday. It will be cycling starting Thursday as long as my plumbing valve comes tommorow.

 

Started to fill up last night after I finished the plumbing. Put 100 gallons in last night and getting ready to put another 100 gallons in tonight. Tommorow it will be all full and running.

 

Tank is up and cycling. Had some minor issues Tuesday night after i got the tank full the overflow box bulkhead was having a very slow drip. I ended up taking it apart last night after draining 70 gallons of water and fixing that. So far after all night running no water drips which is good because that was a pain in the rear. I added sand and Rock and the 2nd heater last night as well. I will post a picture later today since it will be clear than. Now just a waiting game. Time to start working on fish and coral selections

 

Good luck. Fish selection is a pain but mine had to be perfect.

 

Yes it will be a pain and same as you will be perfect.

 

Rock in the tank. Still need to move around now that I can see it.

 

Put the lights up today and the circulation pumps are in and going. Now just waiting 4 more weeks for cycle to finish.

 

Now just have some wires to tie up and get the apex mounted and get the sump light mounted.
