subman is on a distinguished road
Default Subman's Jump into the big leagues (225g)

So after 4 years of enjoying my 90g I am taking the leap into the BIG tank club. I purchased a 225g from Chris (lapdog2020) It was un-built and I was able to set it up as I wanted. Its dimensions are 72x30x24 with a 48" sump (can't remember the exact dimensions) I wanted a 4' sump so I could build a waterproof enclosure for electronics in the stand under the tank. Here are some pics of the tank build Chris was nice enough to take and send to me.

Thing of beauty!!
