Do anyone know the glass thickness of 250 dd?

 

[Taklu]

the sides appeared to be 1/2" thick... the bottom was more like 3/4" thick. Its easy to measure.. all you need is a vernier callipers. Why a vernier calliper? at the moment I dont remember what that small screwy instrument used to measure thickness is called lol

Dont really need the shorter pipe, but you will want it to keep the water from falling down in the overflow box and making noise there, add an compression fitting that will allow you to adjust the height. (You should have one in the fittings that came with the tank??????.... just take the top durso peice off)

Sand is in, rockwork and plumbing will be done tomorrow.
50 gal RO water in there.

 

[Taklu]

are you using live rock? if not doing your rockscape without water will be a better approach... btw where's the rocks pics? :rock:

 

[reef.saltwater]

My old tank rocks

 

[reef.saltwater]

I filled it with water little bit so that sand can sit completely and there is no air in the sand when I set the rocks on it.
I have RO running 24 hrs and believe tank and sump will be filled by Tuesday EOD or Wednesday.

 

[BashfulBacterium]

Can't wait to see it filled!

 

[reef.saltwater]

as per above pic, how much time would you recommend for curing process ? currently rocks are in sump in saltwater.
