New 225 wide

[bbortko]

Picked up my new 72x30x25 225 wide last and installed the background last weekend. Ran the beananimal style overflows, filled the tank and tested for leaks this weekend. Everything checks out and plan to tear down my 125 and move in the new tank next weekend.

My 225 is 72"x27.5"x27.5" and I would love your dims instead. Anyways, love the tank and the 3d bg. Keep us updated with progress!

Lucky my 220's like 72x24x30 or something. How much gph are you expecting through the pump?

Thanks everyone

I have a laguna maxflo 2900, figured flow to be in the 2000-2200gph range after 5' of head loss and 4 90s.
