CaptainRon September 7, 2015 Share September 7, 2015 Coming soon.... taking down my 200 gallon deep dimension and putting in a custom sized tank and stand from Glass Cages with a Synergy Reef Overflow. I'll more than likely make a few other changes to my current system as I build this. Planning on putting as much of my current live rock and fish as I can into the frag tank and sump. I have very few corals currently so shouldn't have many problems there. Anyway, that's it for now. Bought the tank, stand and overflow at MACNA and am excited about getting it going.

DBL September 7, 2015 Share September 7, 2015 (edited) Congrats on your new tank! I'm thinking of getting a tank from Glass Cages too, can I come see your tank when you get it?

CaptainRon September 7, 2015 Author Share September 7, 2015 Absolutely. I've heard their tanks have gotten much better in recent years, so I'm going to give them a shot. Tank will be picked up in two weeks. I won't get it filled until several weeks after that though. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After MACNA my wife finally decided she would like a bigger tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRon September 19, 2015 Author Share September 19, 2015 Picked up the tank and stand this morning and started on finishing the stand. Still need to put a urethane coating over the stain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainRon September 20, 2015 Author Share September 20, 2015 Thanks all. And you're very welcome Doug! I think the tank looks great. The seams look good - I think I may need to wait a couple weeks before I fill it since I only ordered the tank at MACNA and it's here already. They even added some extra pieces of glass beneath the eruobrace, on the short sides, to enable me to add a screen on top, at my request. I managed to get my car into the back yard to make offloading the tank a little easier. It was actually a lot easier than using my trailer to transport the tank from the front to the back. Ready to offload. I had my Dad, Aunt, Uncle and Cousin over to help out. Almost home. Now the real work begins. On another weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epleeds September 20, 2015 Share September 20, 2015 That looks like an upgrade compared to the DD in the background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRon September 20, 2015 Author Share September 20, 2015 LOL Eric. I consider it an "upgrade." But I'm technically downsizing by about 60 gallons or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainRon October 1, 2015 Author Share October 1, 2015 Ha! The new tank was made on 9/16 so I can't fill it until 4 weeks later. So still have a couple weeks to go. Even tho I could, and should, get the plumbing going, I havent. We've been super busy on the weekends with cubscouts and other things, I haven't even broke the old tank down yet. Pesky job keeps getting in the way of things I want to do Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2nhle October 1, 2015 Share October 1, 2015 LOL, I took me more than a year to get my tank going. I heard you my boy is in cubscout also plus other activities beside that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRon October 1, 2015 Author Share October 1, 2015 It won't take me a year! Hoping to have it and my water station done by the end of the month. Won't be able to do much for another two weeks tho! Busy this weekend and scout pack campout the following. It'll happen somehow Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
