plan is a 2 x 5.5 (minimum 5 feet) feet pannels that are 28 to 30 tall
the tank than would be 6 feet (minimum 5.5 feet) square and 32 to 35 inches tall (inclouding the bracing)
the 2 glass pannels are than in the 2conecting sides (not acros from eachother) and have this 90 degree corner of glass build in the wall, with the other 90 degree corner in a filter room behind it.
this way I can make a nice island in the middle, and have 2x the 6 / 5.5 feet of back wall to create a canyon, with the far corner with no rock, to create depth.
overall this is the planning, so if I can make the tank 6x6, great, but dont want to go smaller than 5.5, where the glass is 6 inches smaller than the side pannel itselve
