As long as you place it on a flat and level surface, no need for foam.

Sounds like a plan!

Do you photos on hand of the colored acrylic? The blue, red, and green that I've seen on the site. I need an ATO container for my 65 and was looking at the 8 gallon. Curious how the colors look.

Here's another option for you. We offer lots and lots of overflow sizes and styles. https://tenecoraquariums.com/collections/overflow-boxes-for-glass-tanks

Thanks, I saw those. I was interested in the peninsula set up because it looked like it was a bit smaller and had the shelf to do the wet/dry sort of setup.

I’ll dig around and maybe draw something up with dimensions.

The colored acrylic is "day Glow" lights up with just ambient light. They're pretty cool

They looked slick, if you remember, I wouldn't mind seeing some actual shots when you can. I'm between plain black and blue!

I'm going to renege on not cluttering this thread. I don't want to start a build thread yet since I still need to talk to Tenecor about it but I wanted to share what the 4.0 v1 looks like running. Only tap water but I have a sponge in chamber 1 with space above for some filter floss sheet, nothing in chamber 2, and a 50 watt Aqua-El heater and Sicce Micra pump in chamber 3. The flow is just about right for this tank (the 4 gal) and it is probably fine for the 7 gallon.

As you can see the sump is quite generous. I'd probably swap the heater for my Finnex HMS-50 so that it would fit in the center chamber.

Which Sicce did you go with? I've got 2 spare pumps on hand, one is 600 gph and the other only 100.. I think I'm buying a new one for this tank!

I just put the Sicce Micra on it. It seems fine. I might consider the Micra Plus or Synchra Silent 0.5 for the 7 gallon or if I was going to have coral with no auxiliary flow.

No coral anymore for that tank... It'll be freshwater now, we'll see what she decides to put in it next weekend. The LFS didn't have any 1/2" fittings but they did have 1/4"

So I ordered the right size last night, they should arrive Tuesday or Wednesday. I'll order that pump as well today for her!

I just wanted to say that there are a lot of nice designs in your new HushFlow lineup. If I wasn't on a fixed income...

Yes there are. I just bought a Peninsula 17g all in one to try out as well as the diy AIO for my 20L. Can’t wait to get them.

Just a quick follow up. Tenecor is sending me a replacement tank (wrong size tank) at the end of next week.

So I haven’t got my tank yet and it was in the first 30 and I also haven’t even received a shipping notification is this wired @Tenecor Aquariums

@5G Reefer have you called or emailed Tenecor yet about it? I'm just guessing but I would suspect that fitting a whole line of 'standard' tanks into their normal made-to-order production run is causing a few errors while they work out the bugs. Try:

I haven't received a reply to my email (3 days) about product availablity. Not a big deal, but evidence maybe they have a lot going on.

 

[Woodyman]

Bulkhead fittings, loc-line, and nozzle all arrived, my pump got delayed and should arrive tomorrow! I'll get it filled and circulating tomorrow and then let it sit till I mess with it over the weekend!

So I have a follow on to an idea I already expressed here. Since many consider anything 40 gallons and under (my feeling is 10 gallons and under but the 40 and under fits my idea) I'm going with it.

I've been looking at all the new HushFlow tanks and dreaming--a lot. The idea: take the sump that was designed for the HushFlow Rectangular Mini 22, as-is--no changes, and drop it, centered on the back wall, in a 36x18x16 acrylic rectangle and called it the HushFlow 40 Breeder.

What do you think?

 

[Beau_B]

That’s sort of what I was looking for. Another drop in AIO thing. I want the wet/dry simple single chamber, something like the in the peninsula models. If they could offer those in custom heights I think there would be a market.

Still waiting on an email reply.

This is the size where some tanks can still ship ups and others need to go by freight. It's right on the border and depends on how it is packed. Another reason we are going to offer entire setups

Email sent this past Monday to [email protected] but I appreciate your attention.

Anyway, could you get the diagram for this up on the website?

Tenecor® Advantage™ AIO All In One DIY Drop In Kit | Full Wet/Dry | 29 Gallon Standard​

Might be an option and I could cut it down to size. It would be nice to know what it and the other sizes look like; for those of us using non-standard glass tanks. If only I had my own laser table.

You don't want to cut with lasers. They melt the edges and cause crazing.
