New Tank Design Help

[AfAqua]

Hi All

I'm not sure that this is the correct forum, but I'm sure that the thread will get moved accordingly.

I'm looking to build a new tank, all glass, and was leaning towards a cube between 36x36x30 and 48x48x30. The tank would probably stand in a corner so I'd only be able to access it from two sides.

I am thinking about a centre overflow to a DSB and fuge below in a metal stand with the nornal other equip. SPS is the ultimate aim, so I need to plumb correctly from the start.

Lighting would be by MH, but I'm undecided on canopy or pendant style.

Any thoughts on this would really be appreciated as I'm open to any suggestions.

Cheers
Mike

I am thinking the exact same thing lol. Looking at 36x36x30. I am going to be using the 250 hqi pendants that I currently have for lighting. I am going with a wood stand though so that I can build it myself, I know nothing of metal working or have any of the equipment to do so.

Cool Ranger, any clever ideas to share?

The reason I want to go metal on the stand is to keep the stand support profile as small as posible without compromising strength and eliminating the need for centre upright bracing (I hope that made sense).
