After being with out fish thus far for pretty much the entirety of 2014, I'm about to jump back in!
Now that I'm settled in the new house, I finally convinced the Boss Lady to let me set up one of my tanks. At first, she wanted me to put my 150 back up, but I manages to convince her otherwise.
When I started my terminal leave from the Army in December, I had the privilege of driving right past the house of Phil, known to the forums as Oddball. I got to visit with him and his lovely wife Beverly, and they graciously stuffed me full of spaghetti for the second half of my odyssey from Missouri to Florida.
Of more important consideration to this thread is the fact that Phil sold me one of his unused 365 gallon tanks with dimensions of 36*36*65.
This is the tank that I convinced the Boss Lady to allow me to put up.
I will document my endeavors in this thread!
Thus far, the tank needs the following:
Wow, that actually looks like quite a bit when I write it all out! Fortunately none of it is very expensive and can all be done by a competent DIYer.
For the time being I think that my 510 diy is going to have to stay on the back burner. I don't have anywhere to put it.
Pics soon!

Thus far, the tank needs the following:
- A stand.
- A hood.
- A good buffing.
- Possible reseals as I wasn't exactly gentle while manhandling it by my self.
- Bulkhead holes on the bottom sealed and new ones drilled and installed.
- Overflows installed.
