So, it was suggested I start a build thread for my setup. This is going to likely be a thread that doesn’t get added to often for now, but as the project progresses I will add to it. Progress will be slow, somewhat by design and somewhat by default. I am not one that typically just tosses things together and hopes for the best. I’m meticulous and methodical, and enjoy researching every piece before getting deep into a project. That being said, I have my DT (90 gallon Aqueon glass), sump tank (20g long Aqueon), and a DIY stand I built. The stand consists of 2x4’s as of now. I am in the process of deciding how I want to finish it off. It will be in the main living area of my home and I’d like it to look nice and serve its function well- hold the tank and the 1100lbs + of water, rock, sand, fish, equipment.
I am extremely open to any and all input and criticism- thats
For the sump, I have not yet decided if I’m going to have glass baffles cut and silicone them into place myself, or go the route of ordering an acrylic kit that has adjustable baffles- I am very open to pros and cons here from experienced reefers!
I am still trying to decide what to use for an overflow. I do like the Eshopps Eclipse M Overflow Box Medium - Eshopps but there are several vendors on eBay making and selling internal overflow weirs.
I’ll be drilling my tank myself (eek)!
For now, here are photos of my stand. Thanks for reading this long post and I look forward to everyone’s thoughts and getting to know you all (virtually)!
