My New 252 G tank

[justforfun]

I am already planning my next tank. Which will be 10ft long X 42in H X 4 ft deep. But here is my current one. I dont have the wood work done yet, so it is all open for now.
Here is some pics of the wall before the tank was there. Much better use of the space then 2 plants.

Nice looking set up . I like it a lot . I would love to have a look through in our kitchen that looked into the dinning room. Unfortunatly theres not much room for one in there . Any tips you have to share with us on you building such a nice setup.

what are the dimensions of the tank?

 

[justforfun]

It is my front door on the one side, and dinning room on the other. So you can see my tank from the outside of the house. But my house is gated so you cant get to the front door unless I buzzz you in.
Here are some with fish.

Just a thought here, :thinking: Be sure to watch your levels because it's realitively a new tank and thats alot of fish for such a young system. Are you running a good skimmer?

Water only for 2 weeks. Then I added 3 fish the first time. Then 7 2 weeks later. Then 3 2 weeks after that. I put in the XL yellow tang 2 nights ago. I am though my cycle and off to happy times. But thanks for the look out.

When is the next planned to be completed?
Half the fish you have in your current tank are going to outgrow that 14" depth very quickly.
