Rusty dogs 240gal tank build

[Rusty dog]

I bought a 240gal cube tank off kijiji about a month ago.

The overflow box was built and installed by the Codfather

About a week after buying the tank I started an building a custom stand out of 4x4, 2x4, and good one side 1/2" plywood.

I drilled 5 holes in the stand. 3 are for drain lines, 1 for return line, and one for electrical. http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/jj608/rustydog83/ad8c01c3.jpg
The stand is almost complete at this point. Just missing cabinet doors and stain.

I also built a canopy that still needs the access doors cut in.

As for lights I have 4 radions that are going over top this huge tank. I am considering running a sicce 3200gph return pump. I am also putting in 2 mp40s in this tank.
There is a dry section in the stand for all my electrical.
I will post more when I get more accomplished on this build. I still need to drill the tank and do the plumbing.

Yeah Kevin I was going to keep it for my tank as he's waiting in his glass to be cut for sump. So I'm trading him that sump for his.

Thanks I'm having a blast doin the build from start to end. This tank has only been hydro tested. Never used

[Rusty dog]

Oh I forgot to mention that it's an acrylic tank

[reefme]

You should come and see my tank before you doing anything. Mine is acrylic also.

Well it's time for an update on the build.
So I've finally got all the plumbing done on the tank.

I've added 1 55lb bag or oyster shells and am now waiting on my return pump to arrive in the mail.

I'll be able to start filling the tank in about a weeks time. I'm getting excited
