180 Gallon Start Up

[MississippiFishGuy]

Ok so me and my dad have had our 90 gallon salt water tank for about a year now and we finally decided to get something bigger. We bought the tank from a lady for just 24 dollars. All we had to do is pick it up, clean it, and reseal it. We built a stand for it I was actually surprised on how good it turned out. We have had a few set backs though. The balance for our light stopped working and we lost the nuts for the over flow pumps. We working on getting new ones now. But I will keep updating on the tanks status and posting pictures.

A good tank size is a custom 180 gallon that is 96x24x18. I have to build it myself tho because I could only afford the acrylic pieces which were 400. Luckily my friend builds tanks so he said he could do it for me.

Im planning on getting the pieces and tank together in the summer because I have lots of schoolwork ahead of me.
