Leighton's 300g upgrade (sold my bowfront will now be a 300g upgrade)

Well to pretty much finish the loose ends up and get water in it lol coral and fish and base rock well im betting about 3K total

lol i make a vid of that before i put livestock in

 

I have 2 mp60s and an mp10 on the back glass for running full ecosmart modes. They aren't so powerful you can't run them. With my rock structure I'm actually thrilled to have the extra flow. I feel in my 210 I would be looking for a 3rd mp 40 had I gone that route.

 

Just a quick update was trying to clean my tank up some and checking out how to modify the stand (need some input on the stand) but I also found something that is concerning.

The back of my stand, I want to remove the drawers in the middle so i can put a sump/fuge in there that is 48" long and 18" wide.



The front.



This is troubling im hoping its just the front pane that is tempered.


FTS after i removed the trim on the corners of the tank looks more like a rimless tank like i want.

What brand and size of heater should i grab for this or should i do multiple heaters?

 

Anyone know anything about modding a stand need help please

 

You made it 1000x better! Very clean look!!

Now that is a PITA design, when you wanna have a sump in there... hmmm. I really like the drawer but you cant utilize them as a set of drawers. Maybe you can disassemble them and make a door out of them using the face pieces? And remove those two vertical pieces to utilize the whole space? Of course you'd have to re-reinforce the inside somewhere in the middle.

Ok, you wanna ID other tempered glass (if there is any more). Do you have polarized glasses and a laptop? If you look through the tempered glass with polarized glasses on, you will see some weird pattern on them. If the glass is not tempered, you wont see the pattern. To help you see this, you place the laptop inside of the tank with white empty window on the display (or something light in color, white is the best).
But my bet is only the front is tempered, since it's curved.

 

Thanks i think it looks much better also, Ill have to try the tempered thing soon or maybe I should call a glass shop on this one lol

 

I'm subscribed, this should be epic.

Good luck with the stand mods and congrats on getting this tank so cheap - so nice!

 

thank you- now if i can find a skimmer that cheap lol

 

looks great without the rim! keep the pics coming

 

Thanks I will try to take some next week when my lumber coming in.

I ordered another 50lbs of base rock yesterday from macro rocks. I am going to put in my tank now so i shouldnt have any more then about 60-70lbs to seed for my new tank.
