L shape tank

[JZ199]

Theres one for sale local to me, I believe it a called a Nuvo drop tank, but it's only around 20 gallons i think

 

[Dburr1014]

@Dburr1014 , just need overall length, the width and the max height as well as the min height. We can play with the length of the shallow end later

60" total length, 24" front to back.
Maybe 30" deep, idk.

Acrylic only. Glass in this shape is not a good idea. Canada. We've used forwarders before but that would be something you would need to investigate

Something like this with the overflow at the left corner. What is the approximative price?

If you keep the overall height to 48 inch, you will save very large Dinero. At those dims the sides are oversize sheet

As it is, even at 48 deep you will need a snorkel to service the deep end

What is approx price of 48 inch heigh and 58 inches? To I can planify my budget.


Something like 24 inch tank and 24 inch stand with 46 inch right corner.

I like the hard tasks, for that I'm in this hobby.

From glass or from acrylic?

Acrylic is the only way to go on something like this. See that triple joint? It's just a matter of time in a glass tank for failure. Right. There.

Oh my God, I'm drooling. I love it.
Do you still have it? I would buy it but Vegas is pretty far from Connecticut.
That is what I want!
What were the dimensions on that tank?
I skimmed but didn't see them.

I don’t, I sold it.. it was 24” wide and 60” long.. tank was 24” deep and dropped off to 36”… it was a pain to keep clean.. if I ever did it again it would be a closed loop tank to help with the drop off and go 30” wide.

Must have been near 200 gallons.
I wish I had your skills to do that!
Dang nice tank, right down to the wood covers.

Another plan, with ATO under 16 inch section:

To light well 40 inch deep, do I need Metal Halide? 250 or 400W?

I would probably use the kessil a500 to light something like this, with 3x kessil a360 for the "shallow" section and some led bars running the length of the tank for pop

 

[BurgerFish]

would probably use the kessil a500

Will it cover 24x24 as well, as MH even 40 inch on the bottom?

For the shallow section I have 48 inch 8 bulb T5 with Reefbrite XHO.
