As promised, here are the pictures of my new tank and process:
Since the new tank is located under the stair of my house, there was a huge problem that has to be resolved: How to do maintenance to the tank? The solution that I came with was to do a hydraulic stand.
The stand is capable of lifting 6,000 pounds (as the manufacturer told me) with the manual pump, maybe later I will upgrade it to an electric pump.
It took me about 3 month to sit and plan the DT, but after a short time the DT was done and placed over the stand. Buy like 190 pounds of sand and 100 pound of live rock, filled the tank and began the cycling process. After 5 weeks all levels looked good and decided to connect the RSM 250 to the 190 gal tank via the sump. Did the connections and stayed like that for about 2 weeks.
Other thing that I had to work on was the hood. A local manufacturer did the work in 5 mm acrylic. I screwed the hood to the stairs so that I can move the DT up and down and be able to do maintenance and other staff.
I screwed the Aqua Illumination rails top the hood to place the AI super blue modules and the ecoxotic panorama modules.
Finally, decided to transfer everything to the new tank and disable the RSM 250, here is a pic of the final moment of my RSM 250….
And the final shot of the 2 tanks together for the last time….
Will post the first FTS when I get home….
Thanks all and hope you enjoy it….
