*UPDATED* Custom 220 Inwall Build
 
Hey I finally recieved my tank yesterday from Aquarium Obsessed. This tank is 72" long by 30" deep by 24" high. My wife and I are so excited that it finally arrived, as we had ordered it 4 months ago. I just took the top of the packaging and this thing looks like a beauty.

Now I just got to figure out how to get this beast down stairs to its new home.

I will keep everyone posted with lots of pics and updates.

Here are a couple pics of the tank before they shipped it out from Ontario.

Hope this works, as I a have never posted with pics before.

I can lift heavy things for beer, if you need some help.:biggrin:

Looks great! Wow, 4 months, yeah the anticipation must be agonizing! :lol:

Can't wait to see the final product in action.

Those external overflows are a great idea.

Yeha I got that idea from Superfudge after being amazed at his whole setup.

He is the inspiration for a lot of this build

Hey steve thanks for the offer. Unfortunately I can only fit about 2 people on each end going down the stairs and I have already recruited brothers and fathers to help with that.

That tank looks great. I was looking to purchase almost the exact same tank but 26" high. How well did it travel? Could I ask roughly what you paid and what parts are starfire? Did they just paint the back and overflows or is that some type of starboard? How is the silicon job?

I was really happy with how quickly AO answered my questions and I hear their tanks rock. I'm just waiting for my builder to let me know when he'll have time to start my new house where this will be going.

we should have posted things up sooner, I didn't think we'd have people offer to help so easily. The electrical is all done already, we are actually ready to load it onto the stand. I will post more pics soon of the build.
