Undecided need some input for new tank?

That is definitely a great place for a divider. Mine is similar in that it sits between our dining room and our living room. We love it and guests love it when they are over for dinner and can sit by the tank while eating.

Edit: the red walls definitely need to go. :-)

I have a 6ft by 28 wide X 24 high that I am thinking of taking down, if you are interested you can come by and take a look - East Van. I don't know if it would work for you because of the overflow but it could be moved. It is drilled for a closed loop. Take a look at my build thread to get an idea.

Thats a great tank but the drain is in the wrong spot. I think I will just end up building my own out of tempered I have a fear of float glass.
Still thinking about doing the drop tank as well as I really like the look of that.
I was thinking of putting glass sides in about 6" inboard and 4 foot long 12" high, and filling that with sand and then filling the center in with rocks. Not sure if that is going to give me a problem with stuff getting traped in there though.

If you're keen on the 'L' shaped tank then I say go for it! Those do look sweet. Definitely something different and not many of those around for sure.

I would link them together so it's easier to work on the 'system'. Also I would go 28" wide at a minimum if you can... It just creates much more 'depth' to your 'divider'..
