Db80

tbdh20 · Nov 15, 2011

After debating between the rimless 75 and 80 stock tank, decided to go with the 80 for the 24" front to back depth...

Tank- Deep Blue 80
Lighting- 8x54 TEK
Skimmer- BMK 150
Controller- RK Lite
Sump- DIY 40B
Flow- 1262/6055/6045

The stand in the works.

Looking good .18 inches front to back would have been a deal breaker for me too.
Why do I have the feeling this stand will be black ..
:wink:

Yes, Black... gotta try and match the furniture. Looking forward to having a tank back in the living room.

Made a little progress this weekend, finished the stand, and got the light hung. Working on the the sump/plumbing now... should see water in a day or two!

Pulled this little beast out of the rock today. Not sure how he got in the tank as all the rock started out dry.

Looking good, nice find on the crab! I would have pulled him too.

U did run out of room . Maybe u can squeeze the dosing pumps on top of the ato area and sump area . Those custom containers I picked up are only 7 inches tall . Looks like u have room to make a stand for the two . I see the spare spot for the pc4 but that leaves nowhere to use brs pumps ..either .... :cry:

Buddha, I think I'll end up building a custom ato tank (thinner) or just remove it from the stand completely to make room for the dosing pumps and containers.
