![]() Highly recommend you make tank taller than 22" unless its already made or in the process of being built. The extra few inches would give your corals room to grow upwards before they hit the surface and its also nice to have room above the corals and aquascaping for the fish to swim. Just saying

![]() Oh, I put the bends in it for 2 reasons :
Structural strength Smallest overflow I could make & still get bulkheads in & out Plus once water & rock are in it , it's a little deceiving & don't even notice the overflow. |

I thought it looked sleek, and it took up a bit less space. I have the overflow (with 3 pipes because I want to try to squeeze a bean animal in there) on the back left, I have it sketched out to be about 7 inches along both sides of the glass. I have a smaller one on the right side of the tank for the return, which I am hoping will help make sure there are no icky spots on the surface. |

![]() I am debating on whether or not I should pre-order the Kessil AP700 panel, or if I should go with two 360we pendants. I already have one, but could probably sell it pretty easily.
I like the pendants because they would take a minimal amount of space above the tank. I won't have a canopy on top and would like to keep it as clean looking as possible. However I would have to buy another light and wouldn't have the full light spectrum and snazzy wifi awesomeness. |

![]() Bit of an update...
Project is currently at a stand still. With my current contract deadline coming up and an extension up in the air, I decided it would be smart to wait until I find out what's going to happen before diving into getting the tank built. Also, we have found a dog that we would like to adopt, and if we do get him the tank will probably be postponed until the spring. Right now the specs for the tank are 48X30X22 Starfire Eurobraced Left corner overflow Right corner return Bean animal Kessil a360we tuna blue X2 Bubble king something something Reefkeeper controller sump ATO Fuge Steel stand. I will probably end up skinning it myself. LPS/Softie dominated, some sps and will be moving my RBTA over Yellow Watchman Goby Clown Goby Firefish Sapphire Damsel Clowns X2 (might get rid of these...)
