Perhaps there is a market for these drilled out AIOs

I was planning the same kind of thing. Although, not with a BC. A smaller tank, plumbed to the sump of my 150g. Acctually, never thought of a BC, but now that seems like a better idea for sure. *Scours the classifieds for used BC's*

After considering going custom I figured that a BC would meet the requirements of seahorses with the added bonus of looking good. Only thing I would be worried about is, is a BC14 gonna be enough room for a pair of horsies?

I'm sure the 28g would be a nicer size, if its connected to the main tank water quality shouldn't be an issue just pods and swimming room you should have to worry about. GO FOR IT, I love my sea horses!!! Thanks for setting me up with them Carmen and Doug!

If you are plumbing the tank to your main system, wouldn't it be cheaper to get a custom cube built to fit the space where your putting it? Even with a small T5 light setup.. 2x24W or something.

A rimless cube would look just as good, if not better than a BC IMO..

Just got a 60 G tall tank, that I am thinking of adding onto my main tank/share the sump. Do you have any journal or pics to give me an idea how to do it ?

Well.....sort of.....decided a BC14 would be to small for ponnies and the 28 was to big for the space I have. So I went this direction http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=56843 ..
