Yup,that would be correct ! I plan to run tunze nano power heads in the fuge to keep particals suspended that is why I am raising the skimmers and rock. Nothing real strong tho. They sell a 475 gph one which I am thinking will be just about right. The flow inductors connected to each hydro 5000 on the return side of it should give me a ton of flow.

Sooner than I expected, too! You never even made it fully out!! LOL!

I am looking forward to watching the progress on this one! Glad to see a combined tank build. I will await the greatness I for-see.

Lol the wife just couldn't do it ! She had a really hard time when we took her tank down and actually cried when it was gone.This is the compromise just one tank from now on ! Bigger yes but just one !! She keeps stareing at the vats on the floor and inspects every piece she's freaking out it's funny as heck ! Hopefully the tank will arrive Friday :big_grin:

This is going to be fun to watch come together.

Thanks, I like the foot print too ! I wanted to go 4x4 but the price was just insane. The 4x3 was over 2 grand. It's nuts what acrylic goes for !! Oh well it's only $$$$. Lol. :crying:

Yeah...I understand. I wanted to do a 4 x 2 x 1.5' but had to go with a 40B footprint due to cost and space. I completely understand. Either way, I'm sure your new system is going to be sweet!

Starting to look like something got the stand (barely) in the house and the fuge in the stand so now it's just time for her to make up her mind how far from the wall And where it will stay. The tank and some pipe and water ....... Whew gettin there. :oldman:

Tx still got a long way to go !! Looking forward to the tank then it will be go time !

Chuck, how much space do you have between the bottom lip of the stand, and the top rim of the tank? That looks like it might be tight getting your skimmers in and out for cleaning, etc...

Yeah it's tight in the front ! Just enough tho lol but both side have over 11 inches so not a prob. I am planning ful size doors on all three sides so it's easy to get at anything I need too !

Excellent! I knew you would have planned this out well. I know that I made a similar mistake with a custom tank that I ordered for my sump in the past. It was to tall to for me to get skimmers etc in and out of the cabinet door, that tank made for a nice lizard cage for a while though, and it is now my "bottom sump".
