Tenecor builds a great tank, I have a 150 they built for me and I love it! Good luck with your new venture!

Thanks Wayne! Here's a few new pics.

I didn't bother trying to get the dried coraline of the back panel, I need to get some kind of a scraper and do it when I have more time.

I have laid out my returns for the closed loop and the returns from sump, I wish I had a pc so I could use google sketch up. Anyways some progress made.

Don't be jelly :) just go bigger :)

I kinda went all out on this one but I got a really good deal on CL, it would have cost me the same money to replace my 65hex with an acrylic 95 gallon hex. So the choice was simple :)

I never had plans on a tank this big, it just sort of happened.

There's a few around, I hate posting on CL my ads never post just go no where. Pisses me off cause I have a lot of stuff to sell right now :) and I need to so I can finish this tank.

I posted 5 ads last evening and they all show active but none of them ever showed up.

Sorry for the rant :)

I have an account the emails come and they say confirmation for posting ######## I can follow the link and see the add but it never shows up on the board.

Who knows, probably caught in a spam filter in cyberspace.

I can wait now that it's in my possession :) plus I'm getting 150gpd with pressure pump :)

Now that I have it, there's no rush but good point.

I don't have it yet. I'm thinking the Typhoon III from air water ice, it needs a 75psi pressure and my faucets are there.

I have been outside spraying off and soaking the rock that came with the 300 gallon, it's amazing how many spiders came out of this stuff. :)

Anyways I'll snag a few pics later, this was definitely a score, every piece is a nice shapes and sizes, no boulders :)

Good Lord Eric, that thing IS big!! I too will be anxiously watching and learning from your build. I have an empty 125g acrylic that I'm building up. Have fun ;-)

Thanks!

Updates: I just ordered my Reeflo Hammerhead for my closed loop.

I got two more pendants to match the ones I currently own, I am still only running 3 MH as planned but I got a spare in case.

I also ordered the stuff I needed to buff the aquarium so things are coming together. :)

Eric do you already have the 175w MHs?

Are you going to run any type of "Controller" on this unit other than "Heater"?
