Ed's Shallow Reef Build
4 Attachment(s)
Have been acquiring various pieces over the last 6 - 7 months and decided it was time to start putting the vision into reality. Her are some pics of where I am at. Tank is a custom built glass shallow reef approximately 40 gallons. with a glass sump as well. Overflow is a synergy reef overflow with 1 1/2" plumbing. The floor of the stand is sealed so it can hold water in case of emergency.

Here's some pictures of the plumbing mocked up. Now I'll be tearing it down so i can begin staining the stand.
|
Any reason you decided to go up and over on return

Nice looking tank. How shallow is it? What is your plan for this tank?
|
Tank is about 20" tall and plan on a shallow reef
|
Really? It looks more like ten inches. Well, it should be easy, and less expensive to light. Good luck!

Here are some updated pics of the stand still working on doing the side doors as well as touching up some areas
|
I'll ride along. Thinking of getting back in... Appreciate the pics... Boy things have changed a whole lot since I got out 8-10 years ago.
|
Any new updates? I also want to hop back in after 5 year hiatus.
|
Any specific reason for using check valve on your return?
