Parker's 265 Build - Thread Retired
I thought I might as well start a build thread, albeit a slow moving one.
Tank - 265 - 84"x24"x 30" High  Stand - Custom built wall unit.  Sump - 75 Gallon ( if it fits in the stand ) If not I have 2 - 30 Gallon tanks I might link together Skimmer - Bubble Master 250 Calcium Reactor - Aquatic Essentials - If I can get it fixed - Canada Post damaged it in shipping Return Pump - Squence Dart Closed Loop - Sequence Dart Lighting - 3x 400w HQI Pendants 14k UV - Lifeguard QL-25 2x TLF Phosban Reactors The cabinets should be installed in about 7 weeks, then I have to drop the metal stand and tank in the stand. The counter top guys will come back in and do a cut out around the tank so the bottom trim of the tank is below the counter top. I'm starting to get excited, things are starting to move along.

Crude math suggests that you are pushing maybe 500 lbs down each leg/foot. That's a fair amount of psi and you'll put a good dent in whatever floor that is on. If you could slip a 3"x3" metal plate under each foot you could distribute that load over a bit wider area.
I don't know what floor you are putting it on. It might be fine.

It's sitting on 2x4 plates on carpet over concrete in my basement at the moment, they were added after this picture was taken. Once the cabinets go in it will be on concrete only.

I told this was going to be slow moving! lol
The cabinets should be in town this coming week, then I have to wait for install. I have started to prep for install now. First coat of mold/mildew resistint paint:  Bubble Master 250 breaking in:  Water change station:  RO/DI  Two of my pendants, return pump, closed loop pump, and the second chamber from my calcium reactor..  Exhaust fan wired to a humidistat:  Next step after paint this afternoon is to pull the carpet back then install a rubber baseboard along the wall to prevent water from wicking into the drywall should I have a spill.

Great thread, it looks like it will be a really nice build when you are done...
Could you maybe expand on your water change station? How will you get water to the tank?
