I knew it was too big for a nano

But I couldn't get perspective off the first pic.

Awsome design. nothing else to add. welcome back. looking forward to this systems progress.

Ok here's the tank on the frame im building for it. The side area will have a surge tank up top and electricals. the bottom will have a few draws and the chiller will be on the bottom. the area under the tank will hold the sump/refugium.

brian_e · 04-09-2006, 02:28 PM

Welcome back!
Keep us updated on the progress.

Wow.. I can't wait to see how you finish that stand!

KimPossible · 04-10-2006, 03:03 PM

OOohhhh lots of room. I like it! I take it you are going to have a horizontal hinged door above the tank? Your set up is going to be nice and neat. Looking forward to the progress!

Thanks Kim

No, I won't have a canopy style looking tank this time. The top will be open with a lighting box on tracks that will allow me to raise the lighting up and down to my liking. My whole idea of this set up will be to see the surface of the water in motion. Im going to skin it all in walnut with hinged doors on the side cabinet. the refugium will be on display in the fuge area only and the sides where the water enters and returns will have hinged pannels that hide the skimmer and stuff. I just want to see the refugium area and front pane of the tank when its all done. I'll keep posting pictures as it progresses. Heres a pic of the refugium/filter I built out of a new 75 gal. tenacor acrylic tank in NY.

Wow, that is innovative, Nice. What size is that fuge? It's humongous

Is there about 8" of clearance above it?
