Nanoreefer22's 200g DD Build

[nanoreefer22]

Guess I'm not really a nanoreefer anymore. Going to be upgrading from a 120g, I'm sure the extra foot of depth will be nice. Reaching the bottom of this might be a pain though.:lol2:

Tank: Marineland 200g DD (48 * 36 * 27 high)
Skimmer: SRO 5000 XP internal
Flow: 3 * MP40
Return: Still deciding
Lighting: Only lighting the parts of the tank with coral/rockwork. Probably LED/MH combo
Sand: 200lbs
Stand: Marineland stand (sealed inside completely, as you would do with shower walls)
Rock: Mix of pukani and Tonga branch
Refugium: 30g breeder with various macro algaes
Dosing: MRC-CR2 :party:

Fish List (Current):
Purple Tang
Hippo Tang
2 Percs
1 Royal Gramma
1 Flame Angel
1 8 line Wrasse
1 Yellow coris
1 Bicolor blenny

I'll be posting pics as I go, first thing to do is get the inside of the stand sealed up and paint the back of the tank.

Oh man you just confirmed Kris is still playing in the little leagues!

Ha, either of you fools need help you know who to call (not me):lol2:

Just kidding.... you got my number.

 

[Alexm8856]

I got this no worries

 

[nanoreefer22]

wow guess I still am a nanoreefer Managed to get the tank into the basement tonight, not all that bad after we thought it through.

Now to break down the 120, get that tank out and get the 200 into place.

Question...the floor in the basement is about 1/4" off side to side over the 4ft span. What's the best way to shim it? Never had to deal with such a large tank. Front the back the tank is as level as it's going to be.

oh wow, this looks like it's going to be fun.
Good luck!
