FishTankProjects 6' shallow reef build
 

The new tank has finally arrived and it's time to begin my long awaited upgrade

I started designing this thank in 3D about 6 months ago and it has been exciting to watch my creation come to life

Really good looking scape! Are you going to skin the stand or leave it open?

Awesome design. Love the light mount arm.

Thanks guys!

I'm goign to skin it soon.. once i get everything dialed in.. goign to use wood, paint it black and attach with magnets. no seams.. just sleek solid panels.

That Arm mount took me ages to figure out how to get the 5.5' span with out sagging! Its the product of many hours of bugging engineers and trying to calculate deflection :)

My long term plan is to put the tank at the top of the stairs replacing the banister.. so i really didn't want to have a light mount on that side!

that is one of the sexiest setups ive seen in a while, mad props! :D

Stunning bro. What is the name of that tank? I like it

Looking good

Thanks guys!! I designed the tank/stand/sump my self and had it custom made/DIY it

What are the dimensions man?? I love it

Thank you!

Display is 66"L x 20"w x 18" Tall

The stand is 6" longer so 6' to account for overflow and light stand

Tonight I almost finished off my DIY Kalk stirrer.... Now I just need my magnetic stir bar to show up in the mail..

This tank looks great! Would have been an awesome Peninsula tank.

That's actually my long term plan. It's built as a peninsula. The future plan is to remove the railing and put it at the top edge of the stairs. Both sides are starfire and I just put black vinyl on the back so it's easy to remove when I move it up

I added Few more corals and fish I had a buddy holding. Pistol/orange spot goby. Hippo tang and a mandarin!
