Nice work, I wish we could get that rock here in England, I've seen a few people in the States get it.
Looking great, excited to follow along! You know, as I plan my next tank I have been lulled into the assumption that it has to be rimless. But when I think about the rimless 20g tank I currently have, it always has a black cover on it (looks like a rim) and I would love to go T5 lighting in a hanging canopy, which basically reduces the visual impact of a rimless tank, too.
So now I'm asking myself, if I can get a 40g breeder AND a steel stand from Petco for less than $100, why would I spend over $1,000 on a rimless setup that won't look rimless by the time I'm done with it anyway?
Plus...I like clear silicone better than black...there, I said it. I know, it's heresy, but I do.
You've given me great things to think about. Imagine what I can do with that $900 lights, skimmer, return pump, controller-wise!!!
Nice looking tank !!
Keep it up.. everything looks great so far!
Lol, literally started a very similar build yesterday before seeing this one. Picked up the tank and stand from petco yesterday.
Glued a couple of pieces of 1/4" mdf together to make a platform for the bottom to set the sump on. Thinking about it though, a rubber mat on the carpet could be quieter. Was planning on putting some foam under the sump.
Did you find the stand to be pretty square when you assembled it? Seems real solid to me.
Been having the debate about drilling vs hob. Wife's tank has a cpr hob overflow. My only complaint is the aqualifter pump is a pain in the *** sometimes. Think more flow would eliminate the need?
Had been considering doing a diy hob overflow out of pvc I'd seen on YouTube.
Build looks good! Thanks for giving me ideas for mine!
