i know i say 300 or 500 cause guy we bout from said it is 300 but i know think its 500 because its much biger than the 300 gallon at alamo aquatics.

I remember your other thread. I just think it's funny there is a 200 gallon window in there. I hope you have enough salt...that's a whole box!

You can figure out the size with one of the many volume calculators online. It really helps to know what size tank you are working with.

Yes indeed it is a Tank Size Inbetween 200 and 300.

Odd foot print for sure, it measures up to be a 260 gallon 6yr old mfg date with approx 60 gallon sump with a mag18 for return. Dual corner overflows/dual returns 4 koralia 4s around 200lbs of Live rock and Sand. Coralife skimmer. I belieev possibly vhos or pcs as lights. Havnt seen em yet. Got the tank filled and salt mixed. Gonna let that sit overnite circulating while danny gets a start on washing a few buckets of sand out before plumbing is finished and tank starts a cycle. Awesome design on stand though. Pics to come
