I just started to design my new tank


My guidelines:
1. Aesthetic appearance – most important
2. User friendly
3. Simplicity – easy (and fast) Maintenance
4. Efficiency


The tank is going to be 130L*73W* 63H (CM) ,
15 MM low iron glass, CNC polished.

I tried to stick to my guidelines
- User friendly
- Simplicity – easy (and fast) Maintenance
- Efficiency

Thus:
-Accessibility - All the equipment that need frequent maintains is in the front of my cabinet, moreover a glance enough to see the system functioning properly.

- Easy
(and fast) Maintenance[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]- I tried to automate the system as much as possible, to minimize the maintenance ,
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif] A. I am going to use Avast self cleaning head.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif] B. I am going use TLF bioplastic , I think that this is the easiest way to keep the system within low nutrients levels .
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif] C. I am going to use Dosing pumps in order to dose CBalance , I found it to be one of the most simplest and stable way to keep KH, MG, CA and it's also contain more 29 Trace elements. from my experience as soon as the system is stable it's קnough to check KH once a week.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif] D. Almost fully automated water replacement system , I will just have to put [/FONT][/FONT]
a fixed amount salt in the automatic water change tank.

I forgot to mention before that it's very important for me to build a noiseless system.
I am going to use a gate valve to prevent noise from the overflow. of course I have extra pipes to prevent a flood.
The only drawback using this method is that you must keep a steady flow from the circulation pump. Thus I use a different pump to feed the carbon and Bioplastic reactors.
 
What's the purpose of the sides being extended past the back wall?

This is first time I have seen a tank like that? Is it for just aesthetics

Yes, aesthetics is very important for me.
I tried to minimize it and it's only extend my tank by 8 CM (3.1")

Following along here. Is the extensions of the side walls to cover the plumbing in the back? So the side walls and tank stand will be up against the wall?
