Yeah that'll be nice for sure. I'd leave space between the canopy and tank so it's sorta open top. Great for heat removal and looks cool.

yeah i am looking into a couple options. I want a bean animal overflow but i dont want pipes out of the back. May have to design a wierd L shaped or trapezoid tank so i can keep the pipes within the stand on the left back side of the tank. I will try to draw something to show everyone. looking for something 36" x 24" x 14" - I have a quote on acrylic... hoping for glass though but if i get no hits from my WTB ad then i going acrylic Last edited by phi delt reefer; 09-28-2010 at 09:02 PM.

canopy is 18" from the base of the "tank stage". Tank wont be more than 18 high. The tank sits at 40" above the ground so its a nice viewing angle either from standing or sitting on my couches |

Could you possibly plumb the left side through to the side of your supplies cabinet? You seem to have a lot of space in there to work with and you would still have easier access to them.
Also, did you get that TEK light from ReefGeek? I look forward to seeing what's to come. Graeme |

got the light used someone in Toronto was getting rid of one. Gonna order bulbs from ReefGeek. As for the plumbing - you pretty much stole my idea after i sat and stared at the stand for hours (wife isnt too happy). I am trying to sketch something in google sketchup right now. just spent the last hour downloading and watching some movies so I do my best to show you all very soon
Going to have the left side of the tank have a rim thats half an inch shorter than the other sides than an external overflow box in the supplies area. I have to adjust the shelf slightly but i want to see what the extra cost will be. Options cost money |

so after about 3 hours this is what i came up with. I dunno how people get all the plumbing into the drawings so i just used some 1.5" cylinders. Feel free to help me figure out how to make the drawing better

now i need an MP40
tank is twice the size of what i had originally planned (23 long) so the two Korila nano's are going to be useless. |
