I am slowly but surly going to be building a 160 gallon tank.
It shall be constructed with 3/4 birch plywood for the bottom, left side, back.
the glass thickness is yet to be decided. ANY HELP, IDEAS OR COMMENTS ON THIS BUILD IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

The tank measurements are 45"L x28"W x32"H (32" is the water depth) the tank is a little taller.

Now for the sump. It is not going to be located directly under the DT itself
but to the left in what is going to be my fish room. I want to be able to find about a 60 to 80 gallon sump and run about 25 gallons of it as a fuge.

So once I get a little more into the build I will be posting some pics for you guys AND REMEMBER GUYS I AM NEW TO SALT WATER AND ALWAYS WANTED TO GET INTO IT AND I FINALLY CAN NOW. SO ANY CIRCULATION IDEAS AND SCHOOLING ABOUT IT AND EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS IS AWESOME THANKS A BUNCH YOU GUYS!!::crazy1:
