Hello all!! I Am very happy to announce that I am upgrading to a 225G tank!!!! I absolutely can't wait!!! So this will be my build page for it. As far as stocking, and set up, I have no clue what I'm doing yet haha. I'm open for ideas! I currently have a 120g with a semi agressive community. Everything from cats to barbs to cichlids to sharks.
I found the tank on Craigslist. $300 for tank, stand, lids, and a light which I think is an absolute steal! I go to pick it up Saturday. I'm pretty nervous about the move as I have to drive about an hour to bring it back and it'll be in the back of a pickup truck. There will be 4 of us moving it. I'm assuming it'll weigh about 400lbs. I have never had a tank this large before, nor have I moved one this large. So any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated. I plan on putting a few old comforters down and strapping it down so it doesn't bounce or slide. As far as tank set up I am by no means in a rush. First thought was to put my stocking from my 120 into the 225 and make the 120 a SW since I just started cycling my 30G breeder for a SW FOWLR setup.
Thanks everyone!
