    What's up everyone. I'm new to the forum. I'm pulling the trigger on a custom shallow reef tank!

    Well here is how it started out.

    Aquarium Specs:
    LeeMar 60"x30"x16", Starfire beveled & polished/black silicone tank.

    New Maple stand 60"x30"x42" with 6 doors built by a friend. Since my tank is shallow I want to have 42" high stand for perfect viewing.
    Shallow for corals and high stand for sump access! :)

    After debate I decided to have shallow sand bed in my tank.

    Return pump and power heads:

    I have Eheim 1260 pump for return, 3 vortech MP40 and two nano Tunze for cycle water in my tank. I will replace the Eheim 1260 to Reef Life Support Systems Controllable Waveline DC-5000 Pump very soon.
