Terry's new 6foot tank build.

[the marine apprentice]

so i got this really good deal on a 6 foot tank from a very respectable and extremly smart dude down in calgary last night and i just want to say again thank you so much John. most women give a guy hell if they get a bigger tank mine told me if i didnt get this tank id be in big @#$%, so i think i have been rubbing off on her with the whole salt water hobby as she is really likeing it and i am pretty sure she misses my koran angel and regal tang as much as i do. so this is where it starts again.

the dimensions are 72"x19"x24" so this is alot bigger then any tank i have ever had before.
it has a corner overflow on the right side that is on an angle, i like it this way because it prevents any dead spots in the corners.
there is a 33g sump with four baffles in it that is set up perfectly for my tunze 9006 skimmer and all my new upgraded goodies soon to be added to the list.

so i have one pic of the tank and stand and sump at the moment, but there will be lots more as the build progresses.
please be patiant as this build wont happen over night. i am going to take my time and work at it as fast as my paychecks alow.

please note this wont be the final resting place for this tank. i will be moving it to the other side of the basement where it will take up better unused room in my place.

thanks for the comments guys, doug it may not be down hill but it will be empty wallet for the next while till its all running

well tehn i guess my phone doesnt tell me when i get a bunch of replies to my new thread haha.

but any ways. john had texted me today while i was at work and he was hounding me to get this thing full of water and what not. it is going to be a lil while before it is all up and running, as i still have a bunch of work to do to it. i took out the 50lb piece of marble that was used as the over flow and i will be replacing it with glass and a piece of black acrylic for a cleaner look.

and i also want to euro brace it all around because i will be using 2x 36" fixtures, probably 8 buld or if i find a good deal ill get two 6 bulb 36"s

as for right now i have my 65 set up running all my rock that i have laying around minus the bunch that i have over at the grizz in a rubbermaid, so atleast i wont have to cure much if any.
