Greetings! I am starting a new build thread as I am upgrading from 3 Bio/Nano Cubes to a 75 gallon rimless aquarium. While I was looking for a little bigger aquarium I found this tank and went with it for 2 reasons: 1) $40 is so hard to pass up 2) Rimless tanks are SEXY! So with that being said here are some photos to get things going. Feel free to comment and share thoughts as this will be a work in progress!
The new tank: I scraped the back glass to repaint.
Masked off and Krylon Fusion flat black paint
Refugium that I fused acrylic into in order to have a protein skimmer section as well as a Fuge
Custom pallet wood finished stand with live rock from old biocubes circulating water to keep it ready for new tank. The chaeto I added has doubled in size over the last 2 weeks with the grow light I purchased off of off amazon. I have this running to hopefully keep growing pods.
One question I have: I am going to add 2 return jets to my new tank and don't know the best location for them? I'm thinking like 3" down from the top of the tank and 3" in from each edge? Could anyone lend some expertise on that? I should have some more photos on Thursday/Friday with drilled holes as well as the shadow overflow added!
