WOHOOO !! Tank is being built... now I better hurry and get ready for it.

Here is the picture of the overflow glued to the back pane. The other smaller overflow box in the picture is not mine.

I like the design of your tank (I think your overflow is bigger than a lot of people's display tank :) ).

Are you going to put a piece of black acrylic or something along the front side of your overflow, so you can't see the plumbing in there?

Here is another picture that I just got from Will.. that shows the rest of the tank. The back pane with the overflow mounted will attach to this. It does not look big here.

Holy molie!!! That's gonna be sweet, Sanjay. :thumbsup:

We will try to get the stand to you tomorrow and it needs at least 4 people to carry it down from the truck. BMAC, FRED, ZOOQI, And Maybe Spoon. Pictures will be posted if we did not lose a finger carrying it :)
very nice tank there.

Ok.. now that the holidays are over.. its time to get back to the tank. After some discussions with Will at Aquarium Obsessed I have tweaked the design a bit. Here is what it going to look like.
Had to put a brace for the back wall, but I still wanted my external overflow box.. so the desgin will have 2 large cutouts in the back glass and leave enough room for attaching the brace. I also put in 2 extra 1" bulheads in the overflow box in case I wanted to feed a skimmer direclty via gravity or for any additional closed loop I may want to add later.

Sanjay,

It would be very nice if you can add the real dimmensions on that drawing if you don´t mind. I am planing a very similar tank like your design, and that will help me alot.

Very nice project !! :eek2:

No no, I mean the total dimmensions, including the overflow box, and that is not on the title.
I saw that in another picture Sanjay published.

Thanks.
