Future Project
 
So ive had this tank sitting around for the last 5 months and Ive been dreaming up something do with it. I already have set plans for what im going to do with it i want to know now what you guys would do with it or think I am going to do with it.

Its not going to stay the way it is, everything about it is going to change

Love it!
Replace the back panel with black acrylic and build an exterior overflow box to save space and keep it beautiful!

I've had one of those tanks as a freshwater setup, and I have to say that it was actually awesome! Can't wait to see this in action.

Would be a cool tank for Seahorses.

personally i wouldn't do black acrylic but do a shadow background to make it look deeper than what it really is. kinda regret doing black acrylic on my tank as it is a pain and impossible to scrub coraline off lol. i would vinyl wrap the outside next time i build a tank. oh ya do an external overflow to lol

+1 ! I had a tank with a black acrylic overflow once and I tried to keep it clean.. Every time I went to clean the coraline off of it I wanted to slit my wrists with the Kent scraper. :twised:
