While the existing 50l nano has been great, it's time to move on to something a little bigger. Space constraints mean I can't get too carried away, so for now it'll be a 45g (175l) shallow with matching sump built to fit on, and in, an existing cabinet.
Apart from size as a design consideration, I wanted to be able to look down into the tank as an option so it had to be shallow and rimless, and I wanted an almost C2C overflow.
After playing around with a few designs, the drawings below went to the tank builder.
Equipment
- Tank - 920 x 440 x 400 or 36 x 17 x 16” approx Low Iron
- Sump – 850 x 300 x 400mm or 33 x 12 x 16” approx
- Overflow – Coast to coast (almost)
- Drain – Siphon, Open Channel & Emergency
- Stand – Converted credenza
- In Tank Movement –2 x Jebao RW4 with Wifi controllers 2 x EcoTech MP10wQD
- Return Pump -Jebao DCT4000 EcoTech Vectra L1
- Heaters - 2 x Eheim Jager 100W
- Auto Top Off –Smart ATO Smart ATO Micro
- Lighting –2 x AI Prime EcoTech Radion G3 upgraded to Pro
- Skimmer - Coral Box D300 Plus
- Controller - EcoTech Reeflink
- More to come…
