90 gallon rimless

[Muddy357]

Well I am finally starting my build thread for the new tank. The tank is a NAGA built 90 gallon rimless 36x24x24 I love these dimensions! I made the modifications to the stand to make it sturdier.

 

Extra support beams added.

 

Cut the hole in the top for the plumbing as well as added a back beam for more support.

 

Tank on the stand in my living room.

 

Here is all of the rock I have for this build.

Also I have finished cooking all of me rock for the display and it is sitting in my basement ready to go as soon as the plumbing is done and the lights are hung.

My DJ power strip just arrived so only a few pieces of equipment left to get then this tank can get started.

[epleeds]

nice. love those dimensions. knew you couldn't stay out for too long. any idea how your gonna scape it?

[Muddy357]

I have a few ideas for the scape but things might change ounce I put the rock in the tank. I know I want one pillar on the right side and then a cavern in the center and lots of caves.
