Default new tank!! 250G DD

Ive always thought the deep tanks looked so cool so tonight I picked up a new 250 G deep demension tank 60"W 36"D 27"T and a 75 gal for the sump. the house I live in is going up for sale and the 120 is roughly 10 years oldso perfect time for an upgrade! Im setting up the new tank in my shop.

the tank backs on to the bathroom so Ill be able to store my 55gal drum in there for WC and just run hoses thru the wall and Im going to have a couple 15A GFCI circuits and I will have 2 mag 9s one in the sump and one in the WC drum and havent decided if Ill tie them into the apex or Ill just have manual switches to control the outlets they are plugged into so water changes will be as simple as flip switch wait, turn off switch flip another switch wait and turn off switch.

I will be building the stand and will have a seperate electrical section accessible from the side doors.

I will be buying another evergrow IT2012 since Im happy with the 1 I have but it wont do the 3 feet front to back spread. I dont think it will have a problem covering the 5 foot width since its only 6" each side.
Its got the durso standpipes but I will be running a herbie and the returns will come over the back.

pics of the tank tomorrow and hopefully I can build the stand, sump and plumb it over the next few days and have water in it by mid next week!
