SO I am thinking about there 8'- 310 mega matrix for a fish only. anyone know if that can be Euro braced or does it need to be framed? I dont see that option on the web page. or is the Euro bracing custom work?

@Sdot that is a very beautiful setup!!

Thanks bro... Did a lot of planning from the tank itself to the plumbing! For the most part im happy with the end result.

MM120 with upgraded front glass. hated the sump it came with, sold it for 50 bucks and got something that I had actual room in. Go to an LFS that sells them and order it without the sump, you’ll thank me later

I just realized I never posted a pic. I bought a framed crystalline (front panel is ultraclear glass) with stand, did not get plumbing or sump from planet.

Are those Radion Gen 4 lights? How did you mount them?

Those are Gen5’s using 2 lighting rails and stainless hardware. Rails are just screwed into the canopy.

Awesome that looks great. I am trying to decide between a Mega Matrix 90 or Red Sea Reefer 250

Going to look at a 120 system tomorrow at my LFS. Pretty excited.

Are you going to look at a Mega Matrix 120? I am jealous.

Hydrored · May 15, 2020

I’ve been happy with my mega matrix 120, I will be selling it soon but it has been a great tank overall. I have a new Planet that will be here next week. Enjoy it!

Not sure if it's a MM or a different Planet Aquarium model. The owner said it had an external overflow and came with a stand. I'll be getting the canopy too as the wife despises light spill into the room.

Do you have a build thread of your setup?

Did your Mega Matrix come with a plumbing kit? (bulkheads, PVC pipe, etc..)?

hoju74 · May 29, 2020

My 120g is supposed to be coming on Wednesday. Mine is supposed to have the kit, but no bulkheads

Are you planning on using ABS Bulkheads or Schedule 80 Bulkheads? I am working a plan for my future setup.

hoju74 · May 29, 2020

Just the standard ABS ones. I ordered them from BRS.

my mega matrix 120 came with all of the plumbing including bulk heads but they were threaded. My 209 I just got did not come with anything but the tank and stand but I ordered it that way
