66 gal with wall-to-wall overflow

[Kryten]

Here's some pics of my 66 gal that I have finally gotten set up at my office. Wall-to-wall overflow built in to hide all the powerheads and the overflow box for the sump/fuge. I took Albert's advice and used white for the wall and I quite like the look of it. Only thing I would do different is use 5ml acrylic instead of 3ml because even with a 1-2 inch drop, the pressure difference is more than enough to make it really bow in, so I had to put extra supports behind the wall to keep it somewhat straight.






Shot looking down at the 33 gal sump/fuge which has a bunch of lr and chaeto:



Shot from the side, I'm losing 4" of depth, but it's worth it compared to how the 45 gal that this replaced used to look with all the equipment inside of it. Trust me, it was ugly!

Nice clean look to the tank with everything hidden away

Definitely nicer without the overflow towers.

Is that a glass tank? If so how did you attach the overflow? I made a sump with acrilic baffles from an old glass tank.I used silicone,and the baffles lasted about a month before the pressure broke the bond.Maybe I didn't use thick enough pieces

Yes, it's a glass tank. I used aquarium silicone to attach the acrylic piece along the sides and bottom. It is braced with eggcrate the entire length of the bottom, and with three strategically placed pieces in the top/middle which you can see in the fourth pic.

Looks great Steve. I really like the white background as well.
