Steps are underway to create a tank to specifications that I am wanting. my current set up was a unit I acquired and had no say into lights, skimmer, sump/ pumps. but this is all about to change.

The Future Begins NOW

The Tank - Already have the Tank
4x2x2 Tank - 12mm thick glass wrapped all the way around.

Overflow will be a "Ghost Inspired" overflow running a Bean Animal set up.

The Stand - (will be built by 24/05/15)
Purpose Built Steel Stand
50x50 Gal box sections Painted Black
One I have it I will alter sections to allow for tidy hide of electrics (possibly a pull out draw)

The Sump
Still deciding on size of sump, will depend on stand once I have that I can make calculations as I also want to ensure I can fit my chillier inside the stand also.

Considering a refugium

I see they are finally selling the Ghost over flows - $200 :eek
I just finished designing one and having it fabricated - way cheaper.

I have drawn up plans to get one made and it's gonna cost me an arm and a leg. We only have one acrylic fabricator in Townsville
