Default 300 Gal build

Greetings,

First time poster here and thought I would share my tank build. Well at least from concept to design phase at first.

I am developing my basement and want to install a display tank viewable from 3 sides. Dimensions are 72 x 32 x 32 inches. I want to place the tank between our media / bar area and the work out space which is located behind it but, I still want to be able to view the tv from the work out area.

Hence there will be no canopy, and I do not want to hang any lights. I am thinking of a Euro braced design for the tank but while researching lighting I thought this could be tricky. No canopy, no hanging lights, I really would like to go LED but have not found any fixtures that long. I am looking to fixture ideas that could work that are low profile.

This will be a FOWLR tank however, I want to build in expansion for the possibility of going reef into the future.

Any lighting thoughts?


Regards
