My 340 Gallon Upgrade

Daceman · 07-19-2008, 05:04 PM

Well, I've held out on posting my tank here because i wanted to let it mature a bit and now i think it's ready to start posting, still need to finish the cabinet but here goes.

I want to take a minute to Give A Special Thanks To
My wife Manuela and my Kids Alyssa,Darian And Djay for putting up with me through this very time consuming Hobby.

To the man that has taken the time to make my dream tank come true.
Thank you Frank, and his wife for letting me borrow her man for so long. Without your help this would have never been possible.
Thank You Frank, I will be forever Grateful.

Also I would like to thank Paul (kimoyo) who has always been there to help me with any changes i have ever done in this hobby, and last but not least i will like to thank everyone who came up to help me on my tank build day starting with,
My brother Johnathan, My Godson Tyler David,David Lopez,Ray Rod,Twin(Jorge),Monty,Dukey,Damon.

340Gal Tank upgrade
I will be upgrading from a 90gal to a 340gal tank.
The tank will be 72x36x30 and will be in wall with 3 viewable sides that will be starphire with and external overflo. The front and back and one side will be viewable. The left side will have an external overflow. The tank will be drilled with three holes on the euro bracing which will have a Wavy sea on each hole. It will also have three holes on the left pane for two 1" returns and one 2" hole for closed loop which will feed all two wavy sea's on a reef dart pump. The overflo will have two 1 1/2" drains which will drain as of now down to the basement where i have a 180gal sump. The tank will be on a 42" high wall unit in family room, the back side of the tank will be cut into my kitchen and will have a picture frame around it.
