Well, I’m afraid that my 120x48x24 is on hold indefinitely. Having a baby and planning to buy a new truck pushed those plans way back.

I scored on a Waterbox Peninsula 6025 so that, along with my 200g frag tank, will hold me over.

Picked up the stand on Thursday and built it on Monday. Gotta say, these stands are nice but the instructions are worthless.

Ok! It’s coming home tomorrow! Here’s where I’m planning on setting it up. Not 100% yet. My other option is the left corner where the pods are

Did the tank not come together with the stand, sump and all? Mine came all at once on a big pallet

I wanted to have fish and corals in tonight but I had the wrong bulkheads. I need to get metric ones.

Yea, i thought the plumbing was metric and it was very difficult to even find the correct sized bulkheads. What size bulkheads did you use and where did you get them?

Oh hell yeah, where did you find the plumbing?
I have metric bulkheads coming in. This plumbing is temporary because I don’t trust 3/4” drains and my return is only 1/2”. Also, the 3/4 bulkheads fit a little loose. Kinda scary.

For now, I’m using 3/4 bulkheads for the drain and 1/2 for the return. Metric bulkheads are not hard to find they just take forever to get here from China. I found those on eBay.
