375 Peninsula Tank Build

[Tuan Vu]

I am actually currently waiting for the tank. It’s a completely custom build by glass cages. Let me see if I can find the drawings.

Nice! Low iron vs starfire glass? Any comparison? What are your thoughts on external vs internal overflow?

Low iron is Starphire glass. With panels that think there is no way that I would go with anything else. This tank is starphire on all three viewing sides
As far as the overflow, I chose to to go with nothing in the tank. So external overflow fit. The only things that I will ever see in my tank are the returns and intakes for the closed loop and there’s simply no way around those I was not willing to punch the holes I would need to bottom of the tank so they went in the top. I figure since they are not pumps I can just come out with 45° off PVC and angle them any direction I want without worrying too much about pulling in bubbles from the surface so I should be able to get a very minimal amount of return sticking down in the water

Well the stand is functional. It will likely be wrapped but that will be the last thing I do.

what profile did you go with on the T slot? if you dont mind sharing about how much was it?

I did not design this I used a company that designs these professionally and they did a full load analysis on this to make sure everything was good. It is a mixture of 4545 and 4590 the stand cost me right at $1400 shipped for just the metal parts
