This is the first video of the new 265 gallon setup.
I was building a 240 gallon, but the builder flaked on me, and I could never get the acrylic glue to set well enough to trust it.
So.... Sold the materials, got some money back, and purchased a 265 gallon setup.
This tank is 84x24x30
Dual corner overflows
living color sump rated for a 300 gallon aquarium
pond pump rated for 2400GPH, given distance water flows, I am getting roughly 1345 gallons per hour turn over
Stock is 4 oscars
5 clown loaches
1 blood parrot
1 pleco
I also transferred a series of common ivys I have been using as a nitrtae filter to the corner overflows
The sump is stocked with:
BIO-balls provided by LivingColor
3 Litres of SeaChem Matrix
The old bio-ball media from previous two canisters filters (fully seeded)
The old ceramic bio-rings from previous two canisters filters (fully seeded)
