100 gallon corner tank build.

[Fish_Boy_Wonder]

hey everybody! heres the new project. we were going to do a 45gal but our livestock guy hooked us up with this 100gal truvu acrylic corner tank. I still need to build the top hood, plumbing, and the rest of the stand.

the previous owner of the tank had a closed loop system, so i'll be using the plumbing holes for that as my returns from the sump, with the plumbing hidden with live rock, idk if thats still a closed loop or not but thats what i'm thinking lol.

kinda bummed i only have room for about a 30gal cube sump, does anybody have any recommendations for a cubed sump? ive been looking at eshopps sumps, but would love some input.

I'll add more photos as i go. thanks for loooking and any input and ideas yall might have for me.

Stand is looking great.... You may hate this suggestion, but could you make the stand slightly larger than the tank? Maybe then you'll have room for a sump, plus, I like having counter space next to my tank for equipment I may pull out or to sit testing vials, etc.

unfortunately we have a limited footprint to work with, we have a couch that usually goes where the lamp is. Plus were trying to keep everything as flush as possible to the tank. if we don't end up making a custom sump we'll probably go with the Eshopps R 100 or ADV 100.
