    Default New 300 gallon bare bottom discus community tank in work

    I'm ordering acrylic 96x30x24" tank with external overflow on the side which will be my discus community tank in my living room. I'm still working on sump 48x20x18" but not final yet. Yesterday, I had good friends came over helping on stand. Here are some pics.

    Can you describe your overflow/filtration system in detail please? I'm desperately trying to figure out a way to reduce hands on work for my 240g with the 4 drilled holes in the tank, its a reef overflow set up and want to do the best job with it.

    Best of luck on your set up! Excitingly big !
