Hi Guys
first time poster.
was out of the hobby for 8 years then started a 450mm cube ran for just over a year and you guessed it upgrade on the way.
this will be a custom build as I wanted a shallow reef and Only 435mm front to back to fit in the area I wanted it in our living room.
the tank was built by ND Aquatics here in the uk and the Stand will be built by myself.
stand under construction needs center supports in back
