220 Gallon Stand Build Start to finish

[Paulbearer]

Going to officially start this thread to document my new stand build for my 220 I picked up for $100 on CL a week or two ago. I just finished my 180 build not to long ago in my signature and got it up and running, so now it's on to the 220. This will probably take a little while to build due to funds, but feel free to watch the thread and i'll post pics. Going to get some up tonight. Thanks for looking and this will be something totally different than any build ever see I promise you.

Forgot to mention that the tank on the bottom will be a 100 5 foot tank for my wet pet So the 220 will be on top with the canisters in the doors and 3 110's on the back and the bottom 100 will have 2 canisters beside it with 2 110's on the back. Also, with the placement of these canisters, the tubes will be very short which should help with the head and more flow rate of them.

Good luck and keep the progress coming. $100.00 for a 200 gallon a great deal.

Awesome. You really are going all out on this one. You going to do the Flowerhorn in the 100g that you were talking about wanting?

I haven't really decided on the wet pet for the 100 yet, a toss up between a Flowerhorn, Butterkoferi, Red Devil, Midas, etc... I have plenty of time to decide by then

My vote would go to the FH. Also, I think a 100g might be a bit small for a Tilapia don't you think?
