New 265 gallon pickup

[capefeartarheel]

Ok, so here it is. After a long search deciding how much bigger Id go or what would fit in my living room, here is what I got.

265 gallon, 84Lx24Wx30H...with a 40 gallon sump.

Stock going in is from Conkel & Rapps:

1 carpintis 8 inches
1 Male Festae 6 inches
2 Friedrichsthalii 5 inches
1 Red Tiger MOTA 3-4 inches
1 Trimac 3-4 inches
1 Dovii 2-3 inches

The pictures are of it getting put in and next to my 125 gallon. The 125 is leaving today.

oh man, not intended to be trying to rub it in. Ive been looking for over a year for something bigger that I could afford and it finally came about. I sold the 125 gallon and had some money from side jobs saved up so I went for it. Everything you see for $1000 off craigslist...corner overflows, beveled edges etc...no scrapes or anything. It was worth the wait.

Out the door to a friends. Hes the one that helped me set the 265 up. I have no experience with plumbing or sumps and he does, so I sold him the 125 setup cheap for helping me.
