Rusty dogs 240gal tank build
 
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/...3/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.

Here's how my returns are gonna run

Ill be running a bubble magnus nac 66 for my skimmer in a custom sump

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.
