Snake's 240gallon Tank Build!

[snakeblitz33]

alright, so another day down. I forgot to pick up the camera. Not much else has been going on. I got some base rock and sand in the sump this evening. I took out the rest of the rock in the 240 and put it in the already packed horse trough. I have probably around 400lbs of live rock total right now. yeah. heh. I don't know what to do with it all, actually. It's probably more then what I am going to be using.
Tomorrow's the big day for the tank. I'm going to get it moved, and hopefully find my camera in the rubble left behind in my store, somewhere in my car, or laying around the house. Man, isn't life busy?

well, today is the big day. Sucks that I'm probably not going to find my camera. At least I will have some before and after pics.

Alright - So This is a picture of my 200 gallon horse trough. No, it's not going to be my sump, but you get the idea of how much rock that I have for this tank. Infact, I have probably 100 more pounds at my house in a rubbermaid.

This next picture is a top down pic of the live rock. You can find some of the corals that I have left over surviving in the bucket. I hope they make it through the cycle and all. I have no friends in town that can keep them for me while I set up the tank.

This is a picture of the 240 and the tub so you all can get a better view and idea of how big that tub really is!

last pic of the evening - it's a pic of the tank empty. I don't know - I got picture happy. lol. My friends did not help me tonight, of course. They all have better things to do, I guess. Anyone in the area want to help???!?!?!

 

[coral keeper]

Thank you, thank you, CK.

This is my other hobby

The snake or jeff foxworthy?

 

[snakeblitz33]

lol, the ball python. Blue collar comedy was just on in the background.

 

[coral keeper]

Very nice snake!! I bet your wife was about to kill you when you brought the snake home. LOL

 

[snakeblitz33]

Hah, yeah, she didn't like it too much. I don't handle him in front of her. I don't tease her with it - so she's fine.

 

[snakeblitz33]

Oh, by the way - I am considering putting in an internal pump on the 240. It's a mag drive 24 which is going to blow across the bottom of the tank.
I have a friend that wants to trade me that for a mag 9.5 because he thinks it's too much flow - but I'm not so sure. Any thoughts?

 

[snakeblitz33]

Anyone recommend a mag 24 inside the tank, or would that be too much, even for sps? Should I go with the Mag 9.5 instead? Thoughts? Comments? Questions? Comments on the pics?

I'm liking the coral choice....and nice ball. Mother won't let me have one hhahaha, so I went out and caught a couple of garters...she still complains about them, but they are very nice and gentle snakes...even after being in from the wild.
