the second pic is going to be the front so my tank is split into and from the front you should see a mix of both.....im still way up in the air on whats going to go into what but lately ive been thinking small mini reef in the small section which is about 60g and some sort of non reef friendly section in the " L " part of the tank , i have a snowflake eel and at least one of the sections needs to accomodate him as he grows , i gotta say though im loving the dimesions so far im going to be figuring out the flow here soon and i think i will run both sections off different pumps and use a powerhead in the end of the " L "


all together there are 3 return drains coming from the over flow and 4 drains in the overflowbox returning to the sump so i have quite a few options for flow without having to use powerheads but we will see how it works and i guess its time to go pump shopping i already have a mag 12 at my disposal i could use for the 60g section and i could match it up with a higher mag for the rest but ill have to gather up some info and who knows i may not even use the mags

I have seen the tank and its AMAZING The workmanship is second to none, but considering its done with a CNC you could expect nothing less. Cannot wait to see this thing with water in it (whenever that may be)

I hope that it'll be as good as new, but you will be the envy of Edmonton reefers when it's up and running with your zoa collection and fat healthy yellow tang.

Hey, Denny thanks for the kind words and I am glad you like your tank. That was a shitty thing to have happen, but we will get it cleaned up and looking new soon with your new sump. Try and have a good night.

no worries , tomorrow night im taking out the panels and going to clean any silicone ,the way i see it stuff happens and you got to think positive and tomorrow evening me and a buddy are gonna get it fixed right up and ready for new glass all in all though i must have spent a few hours this evening looking at it and thinking how glad i am so far to have added the divider section really gives me a good ability to mix things up a bit


im looking forward to getting my sump built i think its gonna be a really nice layout with finally enough room to play with

Very cool Denny, glad the tank made it safely to the stand this time. Also love the idea of it being split into two sections so you can house different types of fish in the same tank without issues of them hurting one another.

So how is the sump going to go in there? Place sump and set stand on top?

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

the back of the stand is completely opened and will have two magnetic doors on it and the sump has been measured by myself and the builder and designed to fit in there with comfort any idea where to get magnetic doors to??

Where to buy them? I would say get some industrial magnets and build the doors yourself.

Otherwise I am sure Home Depot has those little magnet door things like you see on bathroom cabinets.

Either way I am sure you need to build the doors and simply add magnet attachment.
