Default Grizz's 67 FOWLR

So I got this tank given to me some time ago but was not sure what to do with it. After having some issues with my 65 gal hex tank I decided what I was going to do.

I had already built the steel frame for this tank, one of those ' just in case ' things, so that was done. There was a hole in the back left corner of the tank already but I wanted to go with a center overflow, so out came the drill. Drilled a new hole for a 1 1/2" bh and a 1" bh to make a herbie overflow. Some might ask why a Herbie?? well here's why, already did a Hofer Gurgle Buster (155 BF) and a Durso (165gal, 8' tank ) so it was Herbie's turn. Took the cut out piece from the 1 1/2" hole to fill the hole in the corner & siliconed a piece of 1/4" glass on both side's. Picked up some black acrylic to make the overflow, took a 15 gal tank & split it into 3 compartment ( intake, skimmer & return compartment's ). Had a 1200 gph submersible pump to use for the return ( single 1" return up to top of tank where it tee's offs to each back corner. Using a Tunze 9010 for a skimmer, an old 3 bulb T5 fixture that I had laying around and a couple 1300 gph power heads to keep it all mixing around.

Have not finished the exterior of the stand yet but plan on it being identical to the stand for my 8' tank as they are in the same room.

Occupants are as follows:
1 - Picasso Trigger ( my fav )
1 - Gold Bar Maroon Clown
1 - Fox Face
1 - Scribbled Rabbit
1 - Lemon Damsel
1 - Blue Fin Damsel
1 - Chocolate Chip Star
1 - Green Serpent Star
