I recently inquired about a 29g for a refugium, but have since started my new 150g reef tank and obviously a 29g wouldn't quite be big enough. I am looking for some design plans using a 55g tank. Does anyone have any pictures or diagrams on this. Also, the tank I have is glass, will acrylic dividers work on this or do the dividers have to be glass.

Thanks all.

These are the only pics I have. I don't know if you can tell but i didn't use dividers i just threw a couple ten gallon tanks in there. The water just over flows the ten's and runs into the water in the bottom where the pumps are. And i also have a trickle set up with cotton and charcoal in it.

schscountryboy, do you have any pics of your bowfront? I would love to see it. I have considered a bowfront placed in a wall with the other side in a closet or a small fish room.

I thought about it but right above that ballest box is the floor for the 2nd floor landing. It just won't fit
