Myka's 69 SPS Tank 2015
I'll play! Mine is only in the concept stage (pun intended) - still working on the details.
36 x 24 x 21" - False back wall made of black glass making display 36 x 21 x 21" - Full weir overflow - Black vinyl wrap around the overflow - (2) 1" holes for Herbie drain - (1) 1" hole for return (will use a 3/4" reducer bulkhead) - Eurobraced with trim on the top edge only and black silicone - All vertical edges on the front are beveled and polished Might use low-iron glass, might not. Might leave out the trim. The tank will have a canopy "wrap" so the trim won't even be viewable, but it's nice for making a screen top. I might puts mounts for the screen on the edge of the eurobracing so the screen sits flush with the eurobracing which makes the trim a moot point. Not sure yet... Don't blame Concept Aquariums for the newb 3D drawing - I did it myself. |

What type of tank would you make it? Reef etc?

Here's the plan for the sump... 24x20x16". Very large skimmer compartment for a very large skimmer...

I would guess a very large skimmer?

I have lots of goodies at my disposal should I need them, but a good skimmer and some elbow grease goes a long way. I might plumb up a manifold for reactors, but I will have limited area under the tank with the dosing equipment there, so I'll have to get creative. |

Here's sump V2.0 - the bubble trap needs to be wider (no point in that blank space), and I don't think the flow is real good in this version. I like sump V1.0 (above) better so far. I made a V1.1 too which I think is superior to both of these, but I'm still tweaking. I'm trying to cram the sump as small as possible so that I can have space for dosing equipment and pump controllers.

hmmm like the sump layout , maybe I should incorporate a auto top off this time around for my tank . I usually stay away from gadgets and do everything manually .
