    Default Upsizing big time!

    OK, I'm crazy, but I bought a new/used tank off of RC last week. Just FOUR times bigger than my 65g. I leave to pick it up next weekend, I can't wait...
    Here's the thread that got me...

    Holy Christmas! I've seen your posts over on RC and I love the pictures that you have up. I didn't realize that it was you over there (different screen name on RC)

    I love your tank, can't wait to see the new one!

    Yep, that's me. Tileman had already been used on RC. I'm going to try and keep both tanks.

    I can't wait to see that Detec skimmer work. I never imagined owning one of those babies. And a Deltec calcium reactor and phosphate reactor. If I was to buy all of them new they would cost close to 2600 dollars alone. So I think it's a great deal. I just can't believe my wife said yes.

    I got it home today after driving 1445 miles roundtrip this weekend. Then I went to bring it through the door and it wouldn't fit. So, thru the window it went. It took six of us to get it in. Some day it will see water again. I plan on cleaning it up a bit and installing a closed loop on it for more water movement . Lots of ideas right now, but it will be a long process.

    Brad, that equipment looks like it has been kept very well... I'm sure that skimmer is gonna be amazing. Glad you all made it back safely. Good luck!!!

    OK, Finally, after two months of buying new parts and equipment, haveing the tank buffed out and repowdercoating the steele frame on top of the tank. We have finally got her up and running!!!!!! I added another sequence dart pump for a closed loop and bought a Maristar 72 inch light fixture with three 250w halides and 4 39w T-5's. All systems go.. 160lbs of sand and 273 lbs of live rock. And the Deltec equipment is unbeleivable, the day after I added the rock I couldn't even see the rock, after one day with the skimmer running my water was crystal clear.

    Looking great. I can't wait to see in full like your last one. I was always a big fan of your old tank. Keep us posted.
