Hello all,
I am currently head first in my newest project of an approx. 48ish Gallon acrylic cube. I am documenting everything for an unveiling set somewhere within the next month or two. Here are my goals followed by a couple of pics.
Goals:
-Large cube tank w/internal overflows and return lines
-Tall stand to accomodate:
- almost eye level viewing
- large sump and auto top-off/kalk drip
- large pvc junction box for power/ballast/timer/fan
-250 W HQI (have considered 400W mogul based)
-funiture grade oak stand and canopy
-primarily SPS tank with lots of flow.
It is constructed with 3/8" acylic and will have a solid ring top to prevent bowing. I am planning a 1 1/2" or 2" durso hidden behind a black acyrilic overflow box centered with a MAG 12 split return and two maxi 1200 psuedo-closed loop (behind overflow wall just pushing water back out low). Thoughts and suggestions are appreciated...
Thanks for yout time.
