Default What would you do?

I am sure of the measurements [img]smile.gif[/img] It was a custom
tank that a fellow had as a brackish tank in his
office at work. Was quite nice when all set up.
It's quite thick plexi and very well done.
It would be a shame to cut it up. I'd far rather
sell it to someone who could find a use for it.

I had contemplated a refugium. Other than that
I'm sort of stumped :>

Hi,

That tank would make a nice display tank that was built inside a wall -- you could even place such that you can see both sides of it. Putting surge tanks on either end of the tank would make an interesting display as the wave passes through.

Given its height, it would be pretty easy to light up with some VHOs or PCs.

I guess...its like a 10 gallon tank that is 8 feet wide (instead of 20 inches)...a wide nano tank. If done properly, it would make a very interesting and unique display tank. You would need a sizeable sump/refugium since you won't have much of a sandbed with 12 inches of height or room for skimmers and such.

I think it would make an awsome fresh water tank with plants, or you make it salt but only put in very small fish and some shrimp.

Cheers,
Patrick
