Hey guys,

I just bought a condo and have the opportunity to setup a tank that can actually be up for years and years. The space where I have planned to put an aquarium allows me the interesting opportunity to put an L shape tank if I can get the economics to work...

Can anyone point me in the right direction of getting this tank made? Thanks for any help!

... and if it can’t reasonably be done, structurally, maybe two tanks which might share an integrated L shaped stand, and either a common (Ow two separate) sumps.

Two separate tanks would be considerably less expensive. If you do go with the L shape I would make sure you can stand that thing on it’s side safely. It may be difficult to get into the condo if you can only move it in it’s upright position.

I think that plumbing two separate tanks into one sump would give you the look you want and the advantages that come with having a common sump.

An "L" shaped tank is a novelty for sure, but is it really practical? Also, are you on the ground floor? If not, I wouldn't want to be in the unit below you in the event of a failure. LOL

To make good use of a corner space, have you considered buying a tank designed to fit in a corner?

Interesting idea tho... following.

Talking to Glass cages Monday about my own L tank. Where are you with yours? I have a 120 on the wall that is 74 this would be a much bigger tank about 350g who built the stand for the BRS 360? Have not had time to watch the videos again to find it I really like the pull out steps that tank has.
