Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!
When I go big, I go BIG. Today I found a screaming deal. I bought a drilled 240 with dual overflows and with stand for $100!!!!!!!! The back is painted blue. With FREE delivery to my house!!!!!! Because Bill at my LFS looooooves me. The stand doesn't have any doors and needs to be stripped and repainted, but Neal said he'd help me with that. Here is a picture of my new baby sitting in front of the store:
 Bill said he'd have to get a crew together to deliver it to me, so I don't know when I'll be getting it. But right now I'm shopping for new lights! The tank is 7 feet long, so I may have to go with a 6 foot fixture. We'll see. I'm excited to be able to update this thread as my gigantic tank progresses! By the way, that thing in the front is not the stand, it's just a piece of wood. Why? I don't know.

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!
Okay, I need help already! LIGHTS! I want a MH/T5 combo. Any suggestions?? Again, it's 7 feet long, but a 6 foot fixture will do. Preferably hanging.
