500 Gal Set up
- Thread starter IITUFFTOBEATII
- Start date
From this evening: just finished a waterchange so there is a lot of micro bubbles in the water. Like i said in a previous post, if i could do it again I would do it with new glass, there are a lot of scratches! The 2x and rocks on top are temporary. I am installing rubber latches in the future. I dont know if i need them, there is a lot of clear space between the water and the lids, but I dont want to gamble.
The other thing I would do differently, and may be changing in the next few weeks, is get a bigger pump. The barracuda is a powerful pump and is getting the job done, but there is A LOT of head loss through the plumbing and filters and the UG return. I will prob upgrade to the hammerhead, or even something larger.

Great looking Monster tank mate.
That's the same size tank as I am having made (500g) only mine will be 2.5 high and 3.5 wide.
I am a bit worried now looking at your filteration set up because I am going to run two FX5's on my tank.
I look at your set up and think ONLY two FX5's is that enough filtration!!
And I haven't thought about drilling or not.
Any advice??
