400 GALLON TAKE 2!!!!!

verry cool looks goog dose it look smaller now ru thinking d*m shoulda went bigger yet ...haha lol ...wish ihad a place t could do that in looks awsome

(sp) goog=good i hate typing im sooooooooooooooo bad lol

looks great Greg! that thing must be a bear to move! cant wait see that puppy up and running!

it is a pain in the rear to move. but literally the only thing I need to do is just pick it up and slide the plywood and foam under it and set it down. so that should be a fairly easy task (knock on wood) but its getting there.

why the foam and should all tanks have it?

The foam even out the pressure points from the frame on to the tank. Some thing like a screw head from the frame that sticks up can cause a pressure point which could lead to a crack in the tank, which is very bad news. Foam is probably a good idea on large tank that has a flat bottom and no rim.

Foam is also used under the stand of large tanks because it will help the tank somewhat level it's self out.

Well FINALLY I have the plywood with the foam under the tank and she is sitting pretty. I got 90% of the plumbing done need to go get a nut from lowes and it will be done. Gotta go get some more sand to put in there. Today hopefully I will have all the sand up and the salt and start putting some of the rock in. right now its pretty cloudy in there with the 4 bags of sand in there right now. But at least it has got water in it. Everything is sitting pretty level so that makes me happy and the stand is nice and stable. Not muc in the pic department to take today so hopefully I will get some pics up tomorrow when its not cloudy. But now the FUN actually gets to start. I will start modidfying the canopy probalby thursday and get that baby on the tank. I am gonna let the tank run a couple of weeks just to stabilize it out. I am sure I am gonna have a little cycle in there.
But like I said NOW THE FUN GETS TO START!!!!!!

SWEET!!! Glad to hear you finally got it up!!

It's up? WOOHOO!!! :D
