standard 55 gallon aquarium broken down into...

[ahtatt]

hey guys. yesterday I broke down my old 55 gallon aquarium with the dimensions 48"x12"x18"tall. I traded up to a 75 gallon, and was thinking about building a refugium or possibly a nano with a built in refugium in the back.
What would be some cool dimensions for a smaller tank?
i was thinking about something like 12" deep by 12" tall, 24 inches long with a 4 inch wide space in the back for the fuge.
any thoughts, or ideas?

This is confusing. What makes tank dimensions "cool?" And are you intending to use the glass from the 55? If so, better be sure it's not tempered. And by "fuge" do you mean a true refugium or a built in sump?

lol I apologize for not being specific. I'm considering making a true refugium out of the glass from my 55 or a long shallow nano, with a built in sump refugium
