I just took a gander at my bosses office. No sump. No room. A bonus no stand either also no room. There is a big flat space for a 20 long. Hmmm

Yes, thanks! I used your method for some of it. Some I just ripped off and started over. :)

Looking much better!

I like fiberglass tape.

I like fiberglass tape.

The only time we used fiberglass tape was on wall/outlet patches and even then that was a rarity. It's really not good for joints between sheets long term:)

Really? Never had one crack. Good to know

Odds are you won't (In older houses anyway), but in new framing in new builds as things settle out and twist fiber tape over sheet seams will crack eventually. It's the same reason spray in foam insulation is an absolutely horrible idea in new builds. Sometimes the older ways are just better :)

Question.

For a twenty long 12 -13 inches deep will a double t5 or t8 work. Bulbs will be 10k and antic. Looking for best option.

 

[dantimdad]

Honestly with a tank that shallow I would bet 2xt5 would be fine. later on, you could add more or a and LED bar.

There's a guy in our local reefing forum that's on R2R here too; I'll link his thread, absolutely beautiful 12 long he has at work.
I didn't know they existed until I joined that forum couple years ago, what an amazing footprint and layout for such a small water volume.
