RichieT's Custom Top-Down Rimless Set-up

[RichieT]

So I'm finally settled here in San Francisco. I had John at Advanced Acrylics build a tank to the exact specifications I was looking for.

I decided I wanted to keep it simple and smallish because of the ridiculously overpriced apartments/size available in the city.

I went with a true rimless build. 36in x 24in x 16in. The back 6 inches have been converted into an all-in-one type enclosure eliminating my need for a sump and the plumbing that goes with it. The effect size of my display should be around 30x24x16.

I will be using a MP10Wes for flow as well as the two central returns from the all-in-one inclosure.

I'm still debating on lighting so if anyone wants to chime in here I'd appreciate your thoughts.

I'm going to be keeping chalices and zoas for the most part. I have a few nicer montis as well. I'm only considering LEDs

I'm torn between the new Kessil A360W which is all the rage out here in Cali or the Radion (pro/gen1/gen2). I'm pretty sure I will be ok with one of either of the lights.

I'll post some pics of the tank tomorrow as soon as John finishes it up.

Am I forgetting anything?
