So what I’m going for is a traditional three pedestal and I’m curious if anybody knows the best links for each height. I figure I’m just going to cut it, test look it and go from there. I don’t know why 8 inches feels right but I’m looking for a deep structure. The tank is 48 1/2 x 18 1/2 x 21 1/2. That scribble on the sketch was that big rock alone as a island piece so this kinda wraps around and slowly drops 2 the sand. Thx for any help.

I would go for the low profile look because I have a lot of marine pure in the sun but because I have that non peninsula look I’m on as well build it up so I’m using the structure so I don’t have to use so much rock and also for flow

I came up with this. No tape left so used jerky for tank outline. But learned I have a few wrong fittings, he knew below the jerky. A 45° Got in there... and I need 90 and a bottom for the leg unless u didn’t connect the cubes but strength is best so will b going for that 2 morrow. I also came across a few fish tanks for free that are used in the pet stores And are 3 sections so I’m cleaning and using for clown breeding and they stack. I wanted 3 but 2 fit and I was happy with that. So I just need 2 build a stand and sump. I went for one of their songs but it just felt too flimsy to me so I’d rather build one.

These are them and I have a baffle to make the other one by three section but I figured I might be able to use it for the harum. But brill will slide it in. Asked for a top so i didn’t have 2 make it and all hooked me up. Nothing beats free....

I can make them all full tanks as well by removing the baffles and silicone but it’s so dry they slide out. So I have a lot of clean up. I figure I’m just going to fill them all the way up to the brim and then just dump in cleaner and let them sit in there and do it again and then finally go to work because I don’t want any of that build up.
