Great to have you.
welcome.

Thank you all for your welcome. You are very encouraging.

That gentleman you refer to is my son-in-law, Jason Miller. He has a number of great looking tropical and salt tanks and we have fallen in love with them. Time to begin the journey.

Looking at how big we can go with the space we have in mind. Would like to see a six foot tank against our divider wall. Probably with an under-tank sump tank using a tower inside the main drilled tank to connect. We want the tank as close to the wall as possible.

Or cut out your divider wall and make viewable from both sides.

Mark- that is a beautiful example you have there. Actually we have today looked againa and found that the tank must be moved to against our railing next to our front stairs. Then we just move the furniture forward two feet or so and viola!

We are thinking 72"x24"x24" on a stand with a sump tank underneath.Thinking of building a tank from scratch. For a six foot tank, do we need 1/2" glass or do we need thicker?
