275 Gallon Reef In wall Build Thread

tangstank · 03/22/2010, 09:30 AM

I'm starting this new 275 Gallon Reef tank Build thread. This is to replace my existing 220Gallon tank.

This will be flushed in wall with 2 viewing sides.

I'm planning on having just 1 vertical overflow with 2 1.5" Drain Holes & 1 X 1.5" Return (This will be split into 2).

I have the initial design sketched out.

Ideas welcome!

I like it so far! But i would recommend to try to jam 6 more inches onto the sides so you get that AMAZING 3ft depth and do either an external overflow or coast to coast on the right side as a box is invasive on space IMO. Just some tips from me, Wiz

I have extreme limited flexibility to move the tank into my basement. That is the reason I decided with this size.

The overflow is going to be on the side panel, not the corve as indicated in the picture but a 16" X 6" Rectangular box with 2X1.5" drain & 1X1.5" return
I have to update the picture yet.
