Hello there! I’ve been out of the hobby for around 9 years now and I finally got the approval from the wife to get a new tank together! Stoked on this one. I took my time with the build and tried to plan for everything that I possibly could. The tank dimensions are 47”l x 22”w x 17”t. Front glass is low iron. I definitely have way too much lighting. But I’d rather have too much than too little. Par readings are 450/500 on top and 250 in the sand.
I’m a woodworker by trade, so was able to build a custom stand and canopy that I really think turned out pretty slick. Interior of the stand is made from solid white oak with the exterior being quarter sawn ash. The inside is finished in an automotive high gloss polished finish. Exterior is finished in a European style hard wax oil. Tank specs are below. Let me know what you think!
