Gary's new tank install build thingamabob

Recommended Posts

So I picked up a tank from saltlife in December. By the dimensions I think it's a 90g but that is neither here nor there to me. I was going to tear down a wall but me and my girlfriend decided that cutting out a window in the wall is a better option.

 

So far no fish yet, but I'd like to make a column since the tank is viewable from 2 rooms. It is the megaflow design so I cut out the wall so you can't see the overflow portion.

 

And now some pics...

Very nice! I love tanks that span multiple rooms and/or are viewable from multiple rooms. What's on the stock list?

I haven't decided yet. I will think on this and formulate what's best vs what I want. Ie a tang or two. Maybe a crib bled rabbit fish... Who knows. Any suggestions??

Thanks Guys. So i have decided to go BB with a remote DSB. the DSB may or may not be the current cube i already have set up. That would make for a heck of a fuge. i have some evergrows to throw on it. i'm sure i'll make adjustments as needed. so when i get the $$ saved..it may be a vortech tank... not sure yet.
