    Well thanks to John Mann we now own a 240 gal tank. We are going to post pictures as we go along. We plan on using a calcium reactor on this one so I am sure we will need lots of help. The tank has a Deltec prtein skimmer Turbo series and a Dart return pump. It also is drilled for a closed loop.

    Congrats, I know you will enjoy John's tank. It's a great size for working in and is set up right to be a great DT. Enjoy and keep us posted on the setup.

    It was not to bad the 2 buckets of sand weighted more than the tank I think.

    Well got most of the piping done this week need to go get a few more fittings in the morning. I hope to fill with water and test. Still need another Dart for the closed loop. I just want to get the rock and water in it so it can cycle. I have a little more to do on the top. That will be a lot easer then the piping was.
