My new 300

[Jacob92677]

Just got my 300 up and going just wanted to share
Tank is
8x2x30 tall 1/2 acrylic.
(has some bow just not noticed when viewing)

For filtration I’m am running a fx 4, 5 and 6
Along with a sponge filter

Heated by 300w ebo jagger heater
(My garage stays warm ) holds 80-82 easily

This so far has been my dream tank I find my self sitting in my garage just watching the fish swim

I Hope this is as big as I go but I said that when I bought my 1st 150 gallon
Like is all I wanted to share my work

The fx 6 is not pics in most pics as it just installed it

Looks nice, I do worry about the bottom span bowing

I’m no expert but all the reading I did was saying support the 4 corners
my original idea was a center legs also tho
The center does not bow one bit the bottom panel is completely flat

my end plan is to cover the blocks with wood panels and paint to look more
Complete

The bottom 10 gallon is the tank I first bought when I got back into the hobby again so I keep it around for that reason
Side note

Acrylic tanks need the entire bottom supported with no flexing, what thickness plywood did you use?

Think your right
Gonna add 2 more legs in the center
For center support I’ll get pics up later when I’m home
