260 Build 84x30x24

[george!]

Okay started working on getting a new tank upgrading from 180 wife hated the stand gave me a reason to upgrade.

Tank is leemar ordered from chad

Going metal stand 2x2 stainless steel ordered from wally

Sump ordered and recieved advanced acrylics 60x20 10 inch baffle was thinking of using center for frags what do you guys think.

I have 3 radion pros on my 180 works fine do you guys think it will still work on this tank its 1 foot wider and 6 inches deeper. I was thinking of getting wide angle lenses.

Skimmer thinking of Vertex Alpha 300

Also anybody recommend some one to skin and stain the tank i would appreciate it.

I have the same dimensions and also run the vertex alpha 300. Work great. I actually run 6 ai sols above my tank. This has provided no dead or shaded areas and the output is great even on the sand.

I would look into the bubble king cone skimmer. Vertex alpha are no longer made by royal exclusive. Post some pics when u get your tank.

Let's see your 180 too

Ya I think you will be fine. Gunna be a lot of bulbs to change. I would go with 8 bulb fixtures. $300 in bulbs kinda sucks
