Hey everyone i hope some of you remember me, its been months since i've posted on here. i will begin this thread by saying i hope u all will enjoy this build as much as i will.
i will start very shortly tomorrow i make a down payment on my tank an give custom measurements, the tank from what i can think of will be...

48" Long (Left to Right)
24" Deep (Front to back)
20" Tall (Bottom to Top)
= 100 Gallons or so
= 130 Gallons TOTAL. with fuge/sump

i wanted a long enough tank so the fish can have some swimming room
also i wanted a deep tank i love tanks that have alot of sand "big sand bed?" i want to place alot of clams and coral on the sand etc..
20" in height i feel is nice i dont like tall tanks because they r too deep i dont see much advantage in height that is huge. (just me nothing against any ones tank)
i will have more specs for everyone in the coming days.
i will have a 30 gallon fug/sump.
i will have LED lights.
i will have a protein skimmer.
i will have a rimless diamond edge set up.

this is just a heads up on whats coming to this thread, i thank u all again for reading an hopefully following. this will be my first custom build an i will need help thanks again.
here is a pic of my old tank i hope some of u can remember it.
