Kevin's 35 gallon acrylic build

[kwandrsn]

This is going to be a slow process. I currently have (in my opinion) a pretty successful 36 gallon bow front mixed reef tank.

I don't like the tank it is 21" tall and 30" long and there isn't much sand space and the glass is extremely scratched up and the seals are old and I'm tired of being up to my pits working in the sand. So, I'm going to setup a 35 gallon acylic tank that is 36" long and 15" tall.

I have learned from all my mistakes and I'm going to take my time and get everything how I want before moving everything to their new home

I got the tank yesterday. I'm going to build a stand and canopy for it, I also have a new 20 gallon long to install baffles for my sump and I'm going to build an algae scrubber.

I'm having the bottom of the tank drilled for a overflow and synergy reef systems is going to build my overflow box and I'm going to drill the back on one side for my return so I can just run one circulation pump on the other side.

So far I got the tank drilled with water and vinegar and a circulation pump most the coraline algae has come off. I'm gonna give it a few days then siphon it all out and do it again then I'm gonna go to work polishing the scratches out.
