Our 240 will be running with 4 E400's with super cartrages along with an FX5 and 4 hydro 5's The bracing and glass top arrangement is WAY differant than yours however so we have more space for HOB units.

Yeah...I'm a little concerned how I'm going to fit the all the filters in the space provided!! I'm sure I'll figure it out! I'm more concerned about building the stand tomorrow... gotta be perfect!

Nice grow-out tank. ;)

You were wise to collect everything first.

Keep the pix coming!

I have plans for a 240 stand I can post if you'd like to look them over... Our 240 (8x2x2) is euro braced 5/8" glass The main differance seems to be in the design of the glass tops....you have 4 sections and ours has 2 4' units...almost exactly like the ones on our 150. They don't go all the way to the back leaving plenty of room for filters. Our 150 and a standard 120 share the same 4x2 footprint so you could probubly do the same thing if you like.
 
i love seeing pics of ppl's tanks as they set them up.. its nice to see what they did to get the finished product.. cant wait to see yours too!
 
This is gonna be a long week....I barely slept last night I'm so excited, and I still got to wait until Friday just to move in to the new place! Stand should be done before I go to sleep tonight.... so more pics to come soon!! :naughty:

It was kinda expensive....but not absurd or anything. If you shop around you can get a whole new set-up for what an LFS will charge for the just the tank.

Tank was $740 with tops and delivery fees
FX5 on Ebay was $180 shipped & already have the MAG350
2 E400 were $77 shipped
3 Stealth Heaters $57 shipped
shop lights were $19 each at Home depot
All the lumber and screws and stuff for the stand was just under $100

Still gotta get a few more little things, but about $1200 for the whole thing, and everything is new. I've seen people DIY a plywood tank for more than that on this site.
