I love the 20 I used to run a 150 with a 100 gallon basement sump had to sell due to a move. I miss not being able to get what fish I wanted and have all the space. But I love how easy a water change is and I don’t run a skimmer in my 20’s. They to me seem a lot easier to care for. Also lighting is a lot easier and cheaper one light will cover the 20 no problem.
What kind of lights did you use?
 
you got good coverage with the 160? I cant think of a good lighting for my incoming 70gallon
The 160 is perfect but it is only over a 20 gallon tank. Depending how deep your 70 is you might want to get 2 360’s.
 
Ifalos Seriphos, early days yet, shipped all the way from Greece....

I paid 2000eu for tank, sump, stand and shipping to Norway.
Originally saw it on ReefBuilders, then l just Googled Ifalos, rest is history.....
I was looking to purchase either this model or the Milos, any idea who I can get in touch with to have it shipped to United States? Appreciate the help a lot! I have been struggling to find the tank nor been able get any info on it.
 
The tank was made as two separate tanks from Glass Cages. They cut the bottom of the longer aquarium short to create the opening for the smaller "drop-off" aquarium which I then rigged up to the top aquarium. I used a series of jacking screws and shims to get the bottom aquarium up tight and siliconed to the upper. To hide the seem I glued on a black acrylic strip.
Digging up an old thread, but I had this exact scenario pop into my head for a drop-off aquarium made from a Red Sea peninsula.

How has it held up, any issues? Thanks
