Any updates on this tank. Wife just got me the 20g panorama version to go along with my 65gal. Looking for ideas and experiences. Thanks.

Other than having to tilt my head, the pics and tank look great. Thanks for the update!
Any lessons learned with the shelf/abyss tank that you didn't expect? Easy enough to clean the glass? How about with the substrate on the top shelf? |

Is this made with acrylic? If so, are you getting any bowing on the far end?

Hey guys! Sorry for the late response! I'm not sure why the photos came out like that. I will upload a few updated pictures and yes, I am having some bowing issues on the sides. I contacted IM and they were not helpful at all. I just hope the acrylic sides hold up!!

IM abyss bowing
2 years up and running and my tank is now at 3/8 of an inch bowing out of the sides. I have had no leaks but the bowing seems to get worse as time goes on. Not very happy that IM wont help or at least discount me off a new abyss glass version.

Wow- you've built a beautiful tank!
I would hope IM would take care of you! Other than the bowing- care to share other lessons learned? What light are you using? |

I love your tonga bridge between the sections.
You said it's acrylic.. They are being marketed (currently) as glass as you mentioned, I'm guessing that should set my heart to rest about bowing.... Have you added anything? Needed to upgrade return? Skimmer? Your tank is fantastic! I see one powerhead (MP10?) in your photos, is that enough to keep detritus from building up on the lower level? |
