This tank is a big version of the all in one nano-cube. Custom made in edmonton. Internal sump (8 gal) is fed via an acrylic overflow, the return for this is a mag 500. I was going to run macro in the sump but floss, bio balls etc can be used. All equipment can be hidden very easy in the sump so the display is really clean. Display is approx 42 gal (flat back hex). There is a closed loop plumbed into the stand, i replaced the media filter that was in there with a 400 gal/hr hydor pump (not a huge fan of mechanical filtration). I plumbed a T and a couple of ball valves into the stand so water changes are easy. The return for this is locline i think. stand is custom made as well, i painted it matt black and changed the handle to aluminum for a nice industrial look. Stand has 3 inlaid mirrors and a big access door. Plumbing looks intrusive but its tight to the back and easy to hide with rock. I realized after i was done refurbishing it and replumbing it that i didnt have the money to start up a fourth tank so ill either sit it in my basement or sell it. There is a scratch that i noticed just recently, not to big, and one mirror has some damage (pics included). Im located in Sherwood Park (near edmonton) looking for $300 firm and i can deliver in edmonton if someone doesnt have a means to get it home.
