Very nice looking tank.....i just have one suggestion to alliveate any future issuues. i noticed on your stand that the entire top of the stand is basically being held onto the legs by jsut nails. this means that your 1800pds + is only being supported by those nails. I suggest cutting some 2X4's and mounting them on the outside of your current legs so that the top frame will then rest directly on the new 2X4's
225 GALLON FRESHWATER IN WALL SETUP BEGINS.

I was going to do that i just wanted to finish the wall first.. on the other hand that picture does show nails but there are (3) 6 1/2"
new construction type screws that need no pre drilling and they have a special bit to screw them in. They are rated for some huge amount of weight. Thanks for reminding me to cut the boards for the stand. I will do that A.S.A.P
Well here is todays progress on the wall.
Remember i have never done this before.
What do you think?

It's looking pretty good Ron. I can't wait to see the finished product and start making plans for my in wall build. I don't think I have ever seen a 225 with the volume of filtration that yours has Lol. The fish are going to be loving it.
One more change tonight. I did not like the blue color so I put the first coat of black on tonight. I think it looks better already.
Thanks. It has been fun so far. But I do want it finished so I can sit back and enjoy.
well here is todays progress on the wall.i was a little farther along but had to take down several rocks to get the flag back in the wall.
