I agree! After seeing some great tanks with a lot of depth to them, I can't stand a flat look. Plus it seems like the fish act more natural when they can do more than swim back and forth.
Good luck with the aquascaping!

I agree As well. How many galons is a 30 by 30 tank? (whatever standard height is.... 12 or 14"???) great luck to you!!!

. His stuff always looks wonderful, and have you seen his tank over at TRT? It's truly a sight.

mnreefman · 05-17-2005, 01:00 AM

corvettephreek · 05-17-2005, 01:38 AM

I like how the overflow box is on the outside of the tank.... helps alot with aquascaping.... im sure tangs would love it too.... *cough* *cough* *nudge* *nudge*

Gina · 05-17-2005, 05:56 AM

Nice tank! I think it's the first time I've seen a custom tank with the overflow on the outside. Good idea!
