Default 4.4 Gallon Build

I built a tank out of 5mm glass, sanded all edges to make it look nice, and divided it in half with tinted glass. The tank measures 16x8x8.

Here's the divider, will act as a wier/overflow, it's drilled in the middle with a DIY bulkhead


Here it is installed in the tank


About 5-6 pounds of premium Liverock


Empty Display


Now with rock in


Clearing up


Full tank shot


One lonely resident in the Fuge right now


Tank has been running since Friday, but the water and sand, and some rock came directly from my 55 Reef. So, I'm not anticipating a huge cycle, just waiting for it to become more stable. Eventually it will be home to a fish and a number of inverts, and Corals of course.
