Fido19's 60 gallon rebuild

Very Exciting, its always fun to watch something come together. The vertex LEDs would be nice, but so pricey IMO. if you decide to go led and not the t5 unit I have, no worries, but I would contact martin at modular LED, and see what he can do for a tank that size

I have a question why the aquaclear and eihime filters , are you building a small hang on fuge or is it just a place to run carbon ect?I just ask because i ran a canister filter for years on my 55 and it was a headache and 2 weeks after i took it down the tank had never looked better.

well i have space issues and cant really go for a sump
the aquaclear seems to be my only other option but hey if you have thing else in mind let me know

the other reason why i cant get a sump is noise, my living room isnt that big
the apartment on its whole is only about 1400sq ft

mines about half the size, (sqft) and our sump is super quiet but space is space. if you cant go sump, do a couple of aquaclear 110s on the back. or build the tank into an AIO kind of thing, with a pane of glass separating the tank into 2 sections, with a mini sump in the back if you know what I mean

thats actually not a bad idea but see i got hardwood floors and if i have a sump it gets a little risky
but a couple aquaclears might actually be worth it

just in case you didnt quite get what I meant, this is it, (but I'm sure you get what I'm talking about)
AIO you could still very easily hang aquaclears on there for some added water volume, or for refugiums

sorry i did understand what you said and i am actually looking into that idea right now
doing some measurements to see how much room i have in the back
