Moving from 135g to 300g
 

Well, in order for me to finish our living room remodel, I need to get my tank the way I want it. When I mentioned to my wife that I wish my tank was bigger than the 135g she told me to figure out what I want and get it done so she could have her living room back. The tank will have floor to ceiling bookshelves all around it and I obviously can't build them without a tank in place.

Solution: Order a new 300g tank and go big.

I have ordered a tank from Leemar. Here are the specs:

96"L x 24"W x 30"T glass
Starphire front pane
dual 5" x 12" overflows
Drilled for closed loop 1.5" drain and four 1" returns
(2) 1.5" bulkhead drains in each overflow
(2) 3/4" bulkhead returns in each overflow
Very minimal bracing on top

I should be getting the tank Jan. 18th. I am currently building the support structure for it. Not a traditional stand, it will be built into the wall. All of the pumps, sump, 60g refugium, etc. are located in a shed just outside of the living room. I have a lot of work to do in there. I have a 100g sump that is replacing a 20g sump, so lots of things need to get moved around. Pics soon to follow.
