I couldnt get the 300g into the room I want so off to storage
I just assembled an Oceanic 135g which was a late model display for a cabinet maker of aquariums. It came with stand and canopy- All Real Oak and triple overflows and all manuals and guides from Oceanic. Just a beautiful tank.
This one will be a " Fish Only " tank as I want some nice angels and butterflies and tank with color !!

More to come. Filling tank tomorrow. It passed overflow leak test of plumbing above

nice I am planing a Fish only with angels and butterflies and a few tangs.
be a year or more out tho

I might even do a plywood tank :0 but at least a 240 gal min. so I can have a emp. angel

that is one nice looking stand! excited to see what you do with this tank. I think butterflies are way underrated fish.

shhhh dont let the secret get out they the prices will jump up like they did with wrasses...lol
are you going to QT them or go the "natural way and let the immune system fight it off?
I hear they can be harder to QT.

What!?!? Another tank!?!? What is this fool thinking!?!?!?

Looking forward to seeing your new tank once it is full of fish.
