10 foot Nano....kinda

looks very cool, whats your finish plan for covering the sump area?

[freeze]

The whole stand, front and back is going to be covered. going to have 1/8 plywood as a base and then have a reclaimed barnwood panel overlay on to of that. I don;t want to look through the railing and see fish stuff. The front and possibly sides will have removable panels so I can access for maintenance. going for a rustic look to match my stone and barn beam fireplace/mantel.

From everything I heave read about long shallow tanks, flow is a concern so thats why I went closed loop. Possibly put one powerhead on the over flow side but we shall see if its necessary. I also have th return on the far end of the tank. The last hole on the bottom of the tank will be the return and be covered by a rock tower. Figured that it would help with some natural flow with the water being returned as far from the overflow as possible.

I would love to see what a wave box would do on a tank like this...
or two waveboxes mounted in opposition to one another.

You might be able to surf on it.

I'll put one of my yorkies on a surfboard and see what happens.....

This looks awesome! I will be tagging along forsure. I can't wait to see how this bad boy unfolds. I'm sure I won't be the first and or last but PLEASE take that rail out before you fill the tank. Right now it's a tank beside the rail. If you take it out it becomes a TANK RAILLLLLLLLLL (insert pyrotechnics). If you are careful the rail will come out intact and can be put back in in a matter of hours. That's peanuts compared to the time you will be known as the guy with the TANK RAILLLLLLLLLLLL (more pyrotechnics).

Bah, even at 119" a tank like this would deserve so much more than zoas

I'm all about the SPS now, and wavy stuff like gorgs/euphyllias

And I can't wait to see some big fish, plus maybe some little shoals

[hillegom]

Very interesting build. Cant' wait to see how you stock it

There will be zoas, lps, a little sps the more I think. Yes fish. Blue hippo is growing so will love this, 7-8 anthias, my black ice clowns and their rbta. Possibly a blond naso......oh the possibilities....
