This is part 4 in a series of videos about my new 300 gallon tank from Custom Aquariums.
If you missed the first 3 parts I will link to a playlist for the project down in the
video description.
When we last saw the tank, it was being loaded onto a truck at the Custom Aquarium's headquarters
up in Wisconsin.
About a week later, it finally arrived at my door.
Getting the crates off of the truck was a bit of a challenge but we made it work.
Then it was just a matter of getting them up the driveway and into the garage.
The first crate was the tank, and the second one was the stand, canopy, and sump.
And the whole time we were doing this I was just wondering what everything looked like
inside.
Fortunately, it was fine.
When I took all of the wood off of the outside, this is what I found.
I had seen examples of this packaging on my tour and it's definitely effective.
But see how it looks once all of this stuff has been removed.
The tank is 96 inches long by 30 inches high by 24 inches deep.
The glass on the front, back and bottom is 5/8" thick,
and the front panel is their ultra clear glass, which is low iron.
The sides are both 1/2" thick.
There are 7 holes drilled in the tank.
Two holes in the middle for the overflows,
Four smaller holes for the returns,
and then one custom hole in the bottom corner for draining the tank
as I mentioned in my last video.
Those overflow holes will have something called a Stealthbox attached,
which is an option that Custom Aquariums offers.
It allows you to add a way to quiet your overflow system,
using a durso, herbie, or beananimal setup depending on your preference.
I'll get into more detail on that in a future video.
The tank shipped with a pad underneath it which is the same pad that will go under the
tank
when it's on the stand.
Speaking of the stand,
this is what they call their Contemporary Stand in black.
It is kind of hard to really see it well out here in the garage
but it's very nice.
The doors have locks and there are no visible hinges.
If you noticed the cardboard boxes inside the tank earlier,
One of those boxes contained the Stealthbox and other plumbing,
and the other two were full of these suction cups
that will be used to move the tank.
Those are actually a rental.
I'll be sending them back to Custom Aquariums when I'm done.
And last but not least, here is the sump.
I pulled it out of the stand and moved it down here to the basement
so that you could actually see it.
It has three parts,
the first part is this dual sock tub that has two huge filter socks hanging in it.
Those overflow into the second part which is the baffle tub.
That tub has 5 baskets in it for media and is also where my heaters will go.
And then the last tub is a reservoir tub
that can be used for lots of things.
In my case it's mostly extra water volume,
but we'll see.
So now I just have a ton of work to do to get everything ready
before I move out the old tank and move in the new one.
Speaking of which,
I mentioned this back in the first video,
but if you're anywhere near Central Ohio and are willing to come help out with the tank
move,
it's going to be happening Sunday, October 7th.
That's 2018 for anyone watching way in the future.
It should be very quick, especially the more people we have,
and I will be providing pizza and beer.
And who knows, you might even be in a video!
If you can help, please leave a comment below,
or even better, send me an email.
You can find the address on the 'about' page of my channel.
Thanks everyone for watching,
and until next time, have a good one.
