Thanks TJ, This tank is the result of 2 20gal. AIOs each 20 had it own design and each had its own flaws. I didnt want to repeat history. As we...
This is the skimmer I choose when I started this build. It will fit into the skimmer chamber. [IMG] [IMG] set in place [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]...
A look at the hood pretty basic. 2 CFs @ 130watts per unit. There are 2 moon lights. The one that runs down the center is a piece of crap. I removed...
Nobody wants to look at all the crap going on behind the tank so I scribed a piece of wood to cover the mess. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
This is the light that will be used for the fuge chamber. [IMG] [IMG] I dont want to see the light in the DT when it comes on. I built a track...
Just like Elvis would say, Thank you, Thank you very much.

BTW I grew up in NE Ohio, Near Youngstown. It wouldnt cost much to make that size of tank. I could give you what you want. Instead of settling for...
Here is a few pics of one of the 20gal AIO's I built. I found it hard to keep the tank stable with such a low vol. of water. [IMG] [IMG] I made...
That would be a 10gal tank with the filter area being 3.3gal. Have You thought about getting a 10gal glass tank on CL and adding some acrylic...
I didnt think the filter chambers needed to be as tall as the tank, so I built them at 12'' tall, also that gave me plenty of room under the chambers...
I dont think I could make any money at building tanks. That would be nice. The blade is a Freud 80 hook tooth laminate blade. I think it was around...
The bracing on the top of the tank is going to be an issue [IMG] more pic of the chambers and the bracing [IMG] [IMG] Nice clamp [IMG]
