Getting a little Closer to setting up my new 300 gal acrylic corner tank 5' sides, 6'2" front view, 42 " front to back and 3' tall , w/stand and canopy 7'2" tall, floor to ceiling. . have about another100 lbs. more of live rock curing, got me a new 2400 GPH Danner mag for my return pump. Along with the new Maxspect Gyre XF150 Generator Flow Pump, turns 5000 gph.. $500. more should get it set up, need sand, overflows,plumbing, salt mix. and a lot of mixing tubes to make 300 gals. of salt water to add to the new tank w/ all the old tank water i can get out. Then i want new LED lighting, but that be after, Do not need new lights to get the 300 up and running ,i have a lots of lighting i can use until then .. So close but yet so far away............I am figuring June /July when its warmer . need to keep fish , corals, water around 78-80*, during the time it takes me to tear down the 180, and set the 300 up

To view pics. of more in my tank, and the wife's 54 corner anemone tank w/ the true red rose's. she has 9 in there at this moment most are bigger
than a dinner plate, When we had her 125 gal.reef set up her mother rose use to blow out to 2' x2' easy if not larger.. then it split after a
water change, we tore down the 125 and turn her 54 in to the rose tank, .it has a 400w halide, for lighting, and a sump under..
Here's a link to my FB if you like to view...https://www.facebook.com/rod.colson.1?pnref=lhc
