Hi I’m obi,
I’m pretty new to the site, and I’m new to salt water aquarium!
i stumbled across this 54g corner aquarium with stand on Facebook marketplace for a free.
I’ve done a bunch of research and discovered the corner tanks aren’t really ideal because of the limited space in the stand to set up a sump and equipment.
However, because I have these things in my home I felt slightly invested, so I decided to custom build an L-shaped sump tank to fit the dimensions of the stand.
Im currently in the process of buildings and bonding my acrylic sump tank. I ran out of acrylic sheet, but I have 2 more panels and the eurobracing to cut and attach.
I’ve posted pics of the tank, stand, and partially completed sump tank.
im not sure if I want to make my own baffles or buy a baffle kit.
I also have a list of what I’m planning to run for my equipment, I’m open to critique and input and suggestions as I know absolutely nothing about salt water reef tanks!
