    250 Gallon Build Thread

    I wanted to get the bottom on and connected with liquid nails before I started using screws or nails. It's just easier if you're working alone, someone does have to hold the wood while I screw in the other side. Anyhow here is more progress. I sanded down the bottom edges before placing on the...

    250 Gallon Build Thread

    I do appreciate the concern but I want to at least say that the inside looks worse than it really is. MOST of it is just topical, if that's a word I can use in this case. The wood is very strong, except the portions I am rebuilding. I did consider Using cinder blocks, and using the existing...

    250 Gallon Build Thread

    Thank you. I did a good amount of reading before I took on the task. I wore proper masks and made sure the garage was wide open with a fan. I know over time mold can cause terrible health effects. But my job was one to two hours. I made sure I took the correct steps to kill it (actually I did...

    250 Gallon Build Thread

    I am going to be adding a few 2x4's as support for each corner and also adding 1x3" around the entire base + a new plywood base. I understand what you guys are trying to say, but the wood is in good shape minus the 3" bottom. It held the tank just fine about a week ago as is, so anything I do...

    250 Gallon Build Thread

    I am working to catch up on here to where I am at currently. But I think I'll save some for the suspense... Anyhow after the sanding was done I treated the stand interior completley with mold remover/water mix twice over. After I scrubbed that, I then treated the entire thing with a bleach/water...

    250 Gallon Build Thread

    I took an entire day to clean the tank. It's 8x2x25". I put the glass on its side and used a scrub brush and some water/vinegar solution and went at it. It was a pain in the ***, especially the overflow boxes, but I did it. Unfortunately I did not take pictures of the after. But I will...

    250 Gallon Build Thread

    Figured I would start posting here some of the work I've started doing. I will give a small background on the story... I was looking for a 300 gallon to replace my 210 and a 125 to try and cut back on maintenance. After a while I found this online and bought it (250 gal). I showed up at the...

    Help Design My New Fishroom

    Also what I did with my 7 ft tank you could do with your 6 foot tank. Put it as a "divider" for the room. So basically place the tank horizontal in front of the washer/dryer to sort of keep the fish stuff separate.

    Help Design My New Fishroom

    I'd probably focus on double racks on the 16' wall, and use the 4' cubby corner and also have tanks on the 6.5' wall. I would not use the 8' wall unless really needed. It's a little separated, plus its at the bottom of your stairs
