Just picked up my new aquarium from concepts today . Very happy with the finished tank . Going to be replacing my current tank 36x20x20 with my new dimensions 36x24x14 , never used the top half of my tank so figured to make a shallow reef. Starfire side front panels , black bottom back wall so nice to have the black wall no plumbing in sight .Only have a few fish so decided to go rimless and building the stand lower so it can be viewed top down as that is my favorite view .
Going to build a stand out of wood and use magnets to skin the outside . So my next step is going to be stand and plumbing. Going to be plumbing it into my current system and avoid a cycle and if Im happy with the dimensions Im going to build a twin and take my current tank offline. My current tank has been running going on 8 years so I figured time to replace it instead of waiting for it to split a seem or something. Debating adding black sand , have been running bare bottom since the start
Have a couple pics of the tank will update as I get stuff going with better pics .
