    Ya it all just depends on your space!

    Are you planning to use these? Maybe a coast to coast overflow?

    Yes, that's the plan. I'll start working on it soon.
    Then I'm going to pick eveyones breain about the transfer.

    Since it's going where my 125 is now, things will have to be transferred to buckets, tubs, etc., then to the 180 wet up in the same spot.
    My goal is to accomplish this in 1 day, so I'll have to have everything for the 180 ready to go first.-- But this will be another thread.

    I as well, I have done that exact move a couple times, not with a tank quite as big but mostly 125 gallons

    I was hoping you were going to say that!

    Matt (Zesty) lives close to me.
    You flying in? Cool, I'll put you up in our spare room!

    THAT was funny

    I got most of the wood picked out- from my scrap wood pile, I have the
    initail stand plans- also, srom this thread:
    DIY Stands Template and Calculator - Reef Central Online Community

    Do you mean of the empty tank sitting in my shed?
    I do have a FTS of the empty tank- I started this thread:

    http://www.3reef.com/forums/show-off-your-fish-tanks/i-found-180-ive-been-looking-148235.html

    It will be months before this is operational.- but it will happen. Everything from my 125 will be transferred, and they'll have about 50% more swimming space.
