I have JBJ 28 gallons running for last 10 months. I managed to claim some floor space to upgrade to a larger tank. Unfortunately the space is rather narrow ~ 14" which means custom tank or 12" deep off the shelf - hence 55 gal.
Planned hardware (so far):
- 55 gal DT [48 x 12 x 22]
- 30 gal sump [30 x 12 x 18]
- DIY stand
- Eshopps PF-1000 / 1200 overflow box
- DC variable flow return pump w/ float switch
- 2 Jebao RW-4 powerheads
12in deep aquarium is far from ideal but I think I can make it work. Overflow and plumbing will be installed on the shorter side of the aquarium.
I will be building the sump myself (still working on the final design)
All the live stock will be moved from 28G to 55G. I have extra 40+ lbs of LR sitting in my garage that I will start curing process this weekend.I also have 30+ lbs of man-made LR that has never been in the water so I guess I can just use it as-is without curing?
I haven't decided what to use for light yet - I might DIY something again.
Here are the plans so far:
More to come.
