WOOHOO I picked up my 180 gallon today! I can't believe it, my Stingray is going to be so happy! This thing is a monster, I can't believe how much bigger it seems in comparison to my 100 gallon. It's really only 80 more gallons when you think about it, but it looks like 180 gallons more to me. I can't believe how nicely designed the overflows are too, it has intake points on the middle, bottom and top of the overflow boxes. They're also off toward the back of the tank which I like (on my current tank the overflow boxes are are off to the sides, it would seem more logical to put them in the back instead of off to the sides of the tank)
I also like the plumbing that I paid $60 extra to get for the overflows! On the return line, each one has 2 swiveling nozzles for extra flow. (check out the picture of the plumbing to see what I mean)
Just gotta wait for the stand I ordered to get here Tuesday and I'll be all set! Oh and I have to make a lid of egg crate too since it did not come with tops. I will be transferring everything from the 100 gallon to the 180 gallon over spring break (starting next Friday) what do I do with the Ray while I transfer everything else to the 180 gallon?
Anyway I will keep everybody updated with pics and information on how the setup is going. Thanks for all the help and info from everybody on here and enjoy the pics!
Thanks,
Steve
Btw the tank is 72x24x24
