It is a BIG tank, not for the faint of heart. Just moving it from place to place is a chore.

Getting stuff done.

Looking forward to your new 200DD. This is one tank that I'm thinking about. So lots of luck. Are you putting it in same spot where 120 is now? Your input on how you like the tank dimension. Looks great.

 

[jackson6745]

Can't wait to see you finish off the stand. Make it look like a piece of furniture that your wife likes and she'll feel better about the large tank, with lots of fish poop, in her living room

 

[Tonyscoots84]

Piranhapat im so excited on this one. The dimensions are great if you have long arms :lol2:.. Awesome tank dimensions though

Rich this will be my best work yet :biggrin:
