Been there and seen what they have for glass,but I have no real work spce to start cutting glass.Thought about having everything cut and just assemble them myself.I like the idea of using acrylic.

Hey!! sounds like a great idea!

I would stay away from acrylic. I have fish room with 4 tanks, one is home made 1/4" acrylic. I hate to clean this one the most. Go with 14" to 16" depth as anything less is realy hard to move water around without blasting some corals too hard.

Denis, what lights are you running on those tanks?

Nice fish room,was also wondering what lights you are running? I've been going cazy trying to figure out how I can get the most use out of the small room,and how many lights and pumps,and heaters,and.........:( (good thing I'm already bald,:) )

The top two tanks share dual VHO ballast with Actinics plus two NO daylights from Home Depot on each. Bottom left just has 2 shop lights with 2 daylights and 2 03 Actinics. I'll be replacing this fixtures soon with waterproof sockets, just like the ones above. Last tank (bottom right) has 4 VHOs on IC660.
My logic behind the upper setup is that I reuse VHO actinics from my main reef upstairs and the daylights are cheap. Ultimately I'll replace dual VHO ballast with IC660 and share it among all 4 tanks. All bulbs are 4'.
Bottom right tank is 53"x35"x20", but will be replaced by 48"x24"x16" just like the others. For circulation from the sump I run Ampmaster 3000. This is completely separate system from my main reef system. Room was prewired for all the outlets (4 circuits), I hate extension cords and power bars.
Hope this helps.
