I am in the market for a large tank and they offer a tempered glass for a higher price - I just wondered if there was any advantage to that? This is a 300 gal tank - I would assume a crack in tempered or non tempered would cause huge problems either way or am I wrong? :(

Nice setup! What is that on the bottom is that something under the tank glass?

Did you happen to get their seamless sump kit? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I'm looking to do a large tank setup. Anyone had any experience with this company customaquariums.com? If not, anyone recommend somewhere to get a 300 gal setup in Colorado? Price seems pretty reasonable from these guys. Thanks

This is great stuff thanks for taking the time it's much appreciated! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I'm also hoping that I won't need to do as much water changing due to the size of the tank? It seems that the water in my tanks has been more stable the larger I've gone. Obviously it depends on stock and filtration but would others out there say that this tends to be the case?

Great question! Sorry for the confusion. I thought the water came right from the RO unit and that was it. I realize this is making me sound as stupid as I really am on this subject. :banghead:

Unfortunately it is not near a drain or this sounds like it would be a fantastic setup - I would have to cut about 15 ft of concrete to tie into the closest drain - I wish I had better planning beforehand!:(

Thanks guys this clears things up lots. I've been keeping fish for about 30 years - just didn't ever go this big. I have also always used our local water and done great with my discus. I've always used a python system straight from tap and it has worked well. Maybe I'll just stick with that.:)

Hi all - I'm doing a 360 gal setup - I plan to use some RO water for my discus and thought it might be helpful to install in the stand underneath - any ideas? Or is it better to put in the utility closet and fill up a tank to use when I need it. The one I am looking at purchasing is a Neptune...

We're building the stand and I'm wondering if I should leave a gap behind it. I assume it will depend on the configuration of the overflow and return plumbing but can someone give me a recommendation on this? I've seen some with external overflows and return pipes up the back and others with...

This is great stuff - thanks a million Jim. I need all the guidance I can get to make this work right with the least headaches possible.

thanks for the advice - I've seen several diy sumps - any recommendation on a pre-made one?

Hello, I'm getting ready to go for doing a 360 gallon planted discus tank. The biggest I've had is 55 gallon tanks with canister and hob filters. From what I've read, it sounds like a sump system is the way to go. I would appreciate any advice regarding the most simple and easily maintained...
