Upgrading to a 210!!!

[seawillow]

Well, I decided to upgrade from the 75 to a 210....The tank is sitting in my garage waiting, the new MR3 arived on Friday...it's a beauty! I've been making RO water all weekend. I have more rock coming this next week and I'm also picking some up from work. Things are moving along nicely (except for two new barrels that I bought that both leaked) Will post pics soon!

210G, that's a nice size tank and i like the extra height that 210 has compared to 180. That's my dream tank.

Good luck with your setup. If you can please update this thread with lots of pics of different stages.

Seawillow, just a comment, if you attach one picture per post then it will open the picture in the post instead of attachment. If you have more then one picture to attach then post as many different post/reply as pictures.

Skimmer looks cool

Well, it's been a long road, but finally after many postponements (for one reason or another) the 210 is finally sitting in it's place and looking beautiful, although a little cloudy. Many thanks go out to my B/F Mark and my kids for getting this monster tank into the house last night. I really think on the label that reads 210 MF that the MF stands for mother f*%#$# not mega flow because that's what it was to lift this tank. I also need to thank Kenlabonte182 and Alberto780 for bringing the 150 gallons of NSW today thathelped to fill this huge tank. You guys are the greatest!!!!! I'll be posting more pics in the near future....can't wait to fill this darn tank with corals!!!

The tank is still looking alittle cloudy today, but clearing nicely....a couple more pics...

Awesome, congrats!
I lifted my 150 out of my Jeep, down a flight of stairs into the basement, then onto the stand... alone. I recommend no one do something as silly as moving a tank of that size alone. At one point, I thought I was close to dropping it.

Wow cool setup, can't wait to see more pics when it's all up and running!!

MarkO, I couldn't even lift my 55 by myself!! Yes, I am a girl, but I'm an athletic one! I can't imagine doing that, especially seeing as how expenseive they are!

 

[MarkO]

Hmm, no wonder I had trouble. I "thought" it weighed about 200#'s empty, but according to another website, it weighs 358#'s:
