Duke Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Our house is on the market which means I'll be moving soon. I hope to be moving 10min down the road. Current tank about 900L I need to setup the the tank in the garage, using another tank or suitable container. This will allow me to build a box outside like Steve and Cracker for the sump and equipment etc. I'll will then be able to position the tank and get all the plumping ready. I will build a timber frame in the garage to hang the lights but are at a loss about a suitable tank without spending heaps on a new tank. The garage setup will need to last for a month plus depending how long it takes to get the lounge and sump box sorted. Any ideas? - never moving again....

Fay Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 I have a spare tank you could use but it doesn't hold 900l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Fay thanks what size is the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboi Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 now i am not really a salty so i am not sure if this would work. u could buy one of those 1000L water tanks for around $100 [cheapest way i can think of] cut the top off and use as a big square tank. the only problem i am thinking of is cuz its a marine ur goin to need alot of ground space for corals, sand .....

wasp Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 If Fays tank is not suitable, I think that would be a great idea Fishboi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Posted August 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Thanks everyone but I contacted Med chem about a 1000l tank (great idea thanks) which I will chop the top off. Steve you may not want me doing this to yours. I also contacted Greg who will make a new sump for me so my tank and sump will be spare to set up... full syphin I recon.

chimera Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Thanks everyone but I contacted Med chem about a 1000l tank (great idea thanks) which I will chop the top off. that's where i got mine from, $110 i think. good value as they're pretty handy! chopping top off a good idea, would make the MUTHA sump not sure on resale value though!
