New Tank Update

[gatormfk]

Had posted a long time ago for advice around a new tank and thought it best to start a thread for the updates as it gets built out! It’s a 400 by Tsunami (96x36x30).

Finally got it in the house which was a chore as we had to dismantle a good portion of pool screen to do so after we realized the stand was 1” too big for any doorway except my sliders.

Plumbing is done but having to solve for a couple of small plumbing leaks in the returns.

Let me know your thoughts and I’ll answer questions and post further updates as I progress!

I have a Silver Aro, Kelberi Pb, Clownknife, and Ornate Bichir in a growout that will be moving over once it’s cycled. Might add another PB and/or Datnoid to close it out

Looking great! What are you planning to put it it? looking forward for updates

Nice job so far. Keep the pix coming. That second drain looks capped?

The open drain is an e-drain. The one with a “cap” is a durso with the elbow and the hole is the vent for the siphon. It’s a herbie setup. Both overflows are set up the same way.

Nice job so far. Keep the pix coming. That second drain looks capped?

Did get the second pump up and running as well as heaters and bio materials in the sump. Still have one return with a small leak but was able to seal off for now using the ball valve so I can get decent flow.

Still have a lot of cord organizing and such to go, but now at least looks and functions as a tank ?. Will get the “cycle stock” of fish my big guys can eat in there tomorrow probably so we can get a bio load going and get the monster moved over soon.

No catfish, I am disappointed
Awesome tank though, those fish are going to so happy with all that space and are going to look amazing
