New 67gal build

[Rusty dog]

I know 67gal is an odd number but that's what it worked out to be with the measurements I wanted. I contacted my buddy Denny at concept aquatics in Calgary and he hooked me up with the glass for my new tank. All the cuts and the notching was done at concept while the tank build and drilling were done by myself. My new tank measures 46x22x14 with external overflow drilled for bean animal style drain system. I now have my tank doing its first water test. I am currently waiting for my new stand from the grizz. I have been informed that the stand is ready for me. Whoop Whoop. There is a deletc mce 600 protein skimmer going on this setup. I will be running a 4foot WavePoint 4 bulb T5 fixture. I have a 55 gal sump with built in refugium. I will be running a 900gph return pump and two corila power heads.








I will post more pictures and add more update as things progress.

Looking good so far. Why did you go so shallow?

The reason for a shallow tank is to have a nice look down tank. Originally I was gonna use it as my new frag setup but I ended up turning my nano into my frag tank and this is gonna be my new display for all my stuff

I love the look of the external overflow.

[Rusty dog]

Thanks. I didn't want an internal overflow as it takes up too much room in the tank.

I can't wait to get it all set up

Is that a 55 gallon sump?

[Rusty dog]
