Coming on mo :)

Im just at design stage on mine but trying to work max height on 19mm steel braces top and bottom

Is it 3 foot.. 900mm?

I've gone 800mm in 15mm so the extra money for 100mm don't seem worth it??

How are you filtering this beast po4 etc

I think it’s more like 4ft with 19mm glass.
I had 3ft last time. This time it’s a bit shallower at 26”.

I’m not fully decided on what to use for filtration. Will be keeping it fairly simple…

I’m sure your tank builders can advise. Not many go deeper than 3ft, but that’s mainly reef tanks.

I think I remember from my last build that I could have gone to 42” deep at no extra cost, So maybe it’s more like 3.5ft….

I have a few build up shots. I was away during the build, so it’s limited. I will sort through and post something when I get a chance.
