Ok guys, I know a few of you have been waiting for me to make this thread so here it is. The Festae tank is about to be underway. Before I began building though figure ill bounce some ideas around and discuss it so that I'm not regretting not doing something by the time I am finished. The plans are 7'x2.5'x18" (196 gallons). I would like to have a dual overflow setup one on each side running to either A my sump or B my refugium. Each of which will have its own return pump.the sump and fuge I plan on making right around 50 gallons a piece. For lighting ill probably get some of the marineland LEDs and just retrofit the fixtures to the canopy. When its all said and done I plan on making this look like a piece of furniture all done up with trim and stain. Also I should put out there that the measurements I'm looking at by no means are set in stone. When I begin building ill end up going as wide front to back as my front door will allow because I do want to have the option of moving it all in one piece if I decide to move in the future so it may have to be cut back a few inches front to back. As for the height of the stand I would like to have the tank bottom at around 4' so that there will be no bending over to see the fish it'll be eye level pretty much. Well Ill stop here and leave it open for discussion and ill be off to get the 2x4s, 4x4s and 2x6s for framing sometime in the next week.
