Well, finally out of the 16g. It's about time
Ha, honestly that didn't take you long. I kinda had a feeling this was going to happen when you found out your 20 was only a 16 or so.
Good upgrade.
You could ask Carrera75 if he'd send you some pics of his old Solana 34. I saw it before x-mas and thought it was nicely done.

thanks greg I will do that, yeah this tank is just too small,
its starting to come together only to get torn apart but
I secretly love cube tanks, and I think if they are done just
right they can be more appealing then long tanks. but it all
comes down to the rock work. I want it to be open, but have
the pillars for them to swim around, the main thing is creating
or the illusion of it. I just have a few more things to work out
i.e. sump, return pump, and plumbing, and I'm glad I'm getting
so much help fro all of you on here, cause I honestly would
what to do for mos of it!

If you don't already have this link Head Loss Calculator, you do now. There are some other calculators too on the lower left. Site is finicky though. I just tried it and it won't load. Happens from time to time. The site is deathly slow, so I never chat there

So today I picked up everything I was getting built, and had ordered, Thanks Martin for the AI, and stand up friendly service!
Spent the better part of the day hanging out with Greg, and Martin as well, as we tackled the tank build.
I will post photos below!
First off, you can see I have joined the sump club! Thanks for the know how and the help on this Greg!

Here is a FTS of my hand built oak stand, came out nicely!

And The Cream of the crop!
I designed an AI mount, and Greg helped me make it a reality, thanks to him as always for all the support


All that is left at this point Is to make my stand pipes, and plumbing, as well as find a 400-800gph return pump, and I'm ready to rock.
I will post some better pics in a bit, companies here so I can only be absent for so long
