Pyke's 180G Dual Rain Glass overflow tank

I suppose with the investment in your lighting you're referring to a repair? Good luck!

we're actually looking to keep with the 72 but we're going to go a bit wider 30" and not as tall 20". The current tank is scratched in many places from falling rock and has two chips in the brace, so we're looking at a new tank and stand. Hopefully with the wider tank we can avoid stacking the rock so tall and it will give us more room for cleaning. Also I would like to get rid of the internal overflow design. It looks neat but in reality in consumes too much of the tank. Anything behind the overflow is lost for veiwing. If I could see both sides of the tank I would go with this design again but because we're up against a wall I like the external overflow design.

well if you have a way to manitoba you can buy my 240 gal with a top notch canopy and stand for cheaper then a new 180.

The tank is officially shut down, on to the new tank design and build.
