[B]Need a custom tank within Built in Filtration, any suggestions[/B]

[Outlets710]

New Nano tank project. For the area I am working with I want a roughly 29 gallon long with built in filtraion on the end similiar to the nuvo or jbj filtration systems so that way its viewable from both of the longer sides. So far I have not been able to find anything like that online or I would just buy one.
Looking for a repuatable company or quite possibly could be a DIY project ,if thats the case just need a little guidance, I have a glass builder here locally i could use, than I would just need help w filtration.
Any guidance or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Any new thread will show up as a Bold title automatically. Any new posts in that thread since your last visit will also cause a Bold title.


I would go with a 36x14x14 foot print. Then add about a 12x5x14 section in a corner. That would be the overflow compartment for a heater, compartment for filtration(carbon, floss) and a return compartment for the return pump.

I like that. One question though ,section in corner, would you make it straite at top for water to flow over or just add teeth for water to flow through?

Teeth, would not want a fish to get sucked in back there.
Just follow the JBJ design you mentioned.

Download, Google SketchUp (http://sketchup.google.com/) and come up with a design that works for you.
