The ran out of room in my wife's tank build

[spit.fire]

Tank is 36x24x20 with external overflow, euro braced, polished edge
Built by concept (only place I get tanks from because I've always been impressed by their quality) and ordered through oceanic corals
Approx 75g



Stand is built out of solid wood that I cut down from some old beams I had laying around (my tablesaw really didn't like it)
First coat on decided not to go white as all my stands are black


Sump is going to be 31x20x16 with a 20" tall back (splash guard) and will hopefully be done tonight

Glass is cut out of 10mm

Where did you run out of room?

I have a sneaking feeling that the top photo, which you also posted in the 2013 FTS thread, will need to updated again soon. Looks like that tank won't be empty for long.

Tbh i was sitting there looking at the piece of glass and decided to make 1 cut instead of two due to laziness

Update on the sump:

I'm debating wether or not to add an r/o reservoir to the sump although I'll probably end up not using it as I'll eventually run an r/o line straight to the sump


I'm hoping to have everything transferred over before Boxing Day. All I have left to do is put a third coat of paint on the stand and plumb the tank.

There's too much stuff on the bottom of her tank (acro frags) and not enough room on the rocks to mount anything else

And the sump is packed to the point where I can't fit another mj in it

We decided to shut her tank down and transfer everything to mine because her tank is to small to add much more for fish and she doesn't really care about the corals

So she can pick fish and I'll play with my sticks

She really wants a chameleon tilefish after seeing one at the store

Wow, you just got the other tank not too long ago! You wife must be a happy camper, a new tank already. I know some guys that would be literally camping outside their house if they told their wife the excuse of no room and a dire need for a new tank.
