Well in light of all the nanos and such, I am going to try and put together a tank that I have thought about for a long time!

It will be 28" side to side on the back
the sides will be 9"
the front face will be 18" so.......
I am not sure what the lenght of the angled sides will be and if it can be done?
(Haven't asked the LFS yet, gettin dimensions first)
OH It will be 24" tall!

I am thinking of instatiling my own overflow boxes as mini filters, if I don't go under? one with cheto and the other for carbon and such? returns will come out he bottom with lock line or 45 deg. elbows?

THE HOLE!

The mirror has got to go! LOL The second shelve up is 24 to the bottm of it. So above that I will be makeing another cabinet to match the ones on the bottom, it will have a shelve at the same height of the ones on either side, maybe a bit lower, to mount the lights to the bottom of it and set a RO water for evap./kalk., and a place to set what ever else? The Drawer under will have to be 1/2 the size. SO am going to have to cut the back off a resecure it? I think a table saw will work?

Well there is cabinet underneith that I am thinking of drilling some holes in the bottom under the tank I could run a 15 Gallon, down there? But it will be completly closed in no ventalation? What will that do to the cabinet? The wify will not be happy if I ruin it! LOL

XAWP · 04-26-2007, 02:42 PM

I am thinking of doing Xenia and ton of rubble in he Fuge with 24/7 24" 2xT-5light? Partioned like a eco? With a in sump return? I need to go 4' with about 300-500 gph, will give 10x turn over if this thing is about 30-40 gallons? What do you suggest?

XAWP · 04-26-2007, 02:45 PM

OK the plan then will be to light this bad boy with as many 24" T-5s I can fit in 9"! The front 9" will only get light from these and will have Glass top to help with evap.?

I think I can fit 6 T-5 with 1 or 2 VHO Actincs!

4 T-5s on 1 Workhorse 7
2 T-5s on 1 Worhourse 5
and I am not sure but I think the 5 will do the VHOs also?

What a beautiful tank you have... Do you have problems with fish jumping at all?

MR PALM BEACH · 04-26-2007, 07:04 PM

Is that 2 saddleback clowns you have? or just a reflection. Nice looking setup you have going on.
