No, this big boy is intact and will house our fish from the 110Gal FOWLR which are already outgrowing their tank. We plan on two large mech filters, lots of liverock and a good skimmer. Oh, and a pair of powerful pumps to keep things moving!

Cheers :)

Well,

the tank is full of water and fish! We transfered all the rock and decorations from the 110gallon and the new 210g looks basically empty still so we have to purchase another 50lbs or more of liverock to make it look good.

Anyways, we basically threw this together in a hurry to get the fish in their new home. I think they are loving the space!

Filling the tank(took almost an hour to filll!)

Nice open tank for the fish to swim. Don't see many tanks like that. Looks good :)

thanks guys! :)

Beverly, not only is it large enough for the fish to swim around, it would fit the both of us in there comfortably too! :D
