 Topic: My New Tank: Red Sea Max250
Posted: November 06 2010 at 10:39pm |
 First I would like to thank you all for the awesome time we had at the MWRF! It was so much fun, I didn't even realize that I was super hungry or super tired till I got home... but even then I was still so happy that I won the Red Sea Max250 I didn't care! Thank you all so very much.
So, I was talking about starting my own topic all about my new tank and it's progress to becoming the worlds coolest home hobby  . Well this is my topic! And I am going to let you all know how everything is doing! Starting from the begining...

These are the pictures, starting with the tank at the MWRF before we loaded it up and brought it home. The others are pics of our old tank getting taken down and our new tank getting put up. I am so happy. It is pretty!

Yay for the final results! I love this tank so much! Especially because this tank only has one cord and the other tank, well....

MY husband would like to add, if anyone is interested, that he will sell our old tank in its non-spruced up form for $100. It is a 45g with a 30g sumptank, and it comes with powerheads, heater, utility pmp, stand, hood, and a 30in power compact light. The tank is 36"w x 15"d x 20"t, and the stand is 38"w x 17"d x 30"t, and the hood adds another 4 1/2" on the top. It is acrylic and it has some scratches but they can be buffed. in fact my husband is going to fix it all up and sell it but then the $100 offer will be null and void. So let me know if anyone wants it before he starts going crazy.

Wow fast work! Looks great!
Your old 45 is MY EXACT tank. LOL. I would be thrilled to upgrade to that tank especially knowing all the frustrations with the canopy and acrylic on my tank!

yeah, it took several hours to get it together, but now it is awesome! I love it. Granted the Aquascaping isn't perfect, I am not a pro  , but for an amature I think I am good.

I am pleased, yes I am. *sigh* it is just so pretty. I will still keep up with this post and add more pictures when new things are added or I move things or maybe just because I want to. That way you can all enjoy it with me. <3

I know how much work that is and I commend you on getting that set up so fast. Looks great and Ben is right, as long as you like the look and your corals are happy that is all that matters.
