Large tanks (300+gals)

Didnt know you owned a dd...that pretty cool so you like it ? What are you using for filtration....i know nothing about sumps or wet/dry sucks i would just throw a couple of 2262's on it and be done

Oh personally I do not like glasscages because of the glasstanks they make must use euro bracings.. if they don't use it I would love to buy again.. if you don't mind that then that's the way to go.. price is just right..I have a post on diy for my setup.. "300 gal with a 125 sump".

I thought you had the marinland 300 dd.

I was looking at gc last night cant beat the prices man

As far as glass thickness what should i be aiming for on a tank this size 3/4?

I used to own a GC 95 gal starphire front panelists for my turtle but didn't liked it because of the euro bracing.. I still have my 300 gal.. its still running...

I have a glass cages tank that I like a lot. Bought it used at 2 years old.

Its a custom size 7'x3'x26" 340. 1/2" glass all the way around. The euro bracing is a little obnoxious but if you use substrate you could just bury it. The other complaint is they could be a little cleaner with their silicone work.

Shadow what are you using for filtration?

Have a 145g sump with two ESHOPPS 1600 overflow boxes and a Mag 24 pump. Plus 2 FX5 for mechanical.
If Had to do it again I would drill it. And if buying new have it drilled.

soupa2 have you thought about using all 4 holes in the overflows as drains? You can move a tremendous volume of water through your sump should you go that route.

Damn man im gonna have to learn sumps huh ?

@snookone... Yes I know but took much work after its all resetup.. someone here did it to their 250 DD... Agreed with shadow about the gravel the substrate but all my tanks are bare bottom...
