I need to build or have built a new tank

jayuws · 05-15-2008, 03:06 PM

Hey Guys,

I'm looking around to upgrade my set-up. I need a tank that can be viewed from both the front and the back. So I'm thinking that all of the plumbing, baffles, etc., would be on the two sides of the tank. I also only have a total height clearance of only 27" and this inludes the light fixtures and my total width clearance is 96". My ideal tank would be 72" x 24" x 18"H. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I'd love to hear them.
Thanks,
Jay

Oh yea and this is on a low budget so I'm not looking to spend thousands. I would do acrylic or glass but I need to make sure it will never leak. It would be place over an entertainment system and 8 feet off the floor. I know it sounds crazy but it looks awesome from 2 rooms of my apartment. I'll try to show pictures of my set-up now.

over an entertainment system?

I hope you have insurance, for real. there is no guarantee of a tank never leaking.
