SW 110G Tank Build

cosmo, the tank I first listed is over two hours away from me. Also, the seller is not returning my emails.

 

The 2 hour drive is doable, but not returning your emails isn't.

 

The way its looking, If i can find a stand i will go with the 110. That way i can build the tank an system that I want. An its already drilled through the bottom with an angled corner overflow Will continue to watch for a used tank in the mean time.

Found another one. This one is currently a freshwater tank, three years old. Can get it for 500 dollars an its alot closer.

 

The only problem with being drilled through the bottom is that if there is ever some sort of problem, you are going to end up with around 100 - 110 gallons of water on the floor. Look at the bean animal overflow set up. It is really the best.

 

The last tank is 120 gallon, I could get the lfs to drill the back glass to do the bean animal overflow. I could also do the same thing with a 90 gallon tank that the lfs has. I sure don't want 120g of water on laminate floor.

 

I would go with this one if you are happy with it and have it drilled.

Lol, no you don't want that much water on the floor. ;D

 

Do you happen to know what size sump would work with the 120g an for a 90g ? I can make a stand for the 90g an so the sump dimensions wouldn't be such an issue. The 120g, i am restricted by the base stands interior dimensions.

 

that last tank would make a great reef tank.

For a 90g, I would go with a 20g long for the sump. For a 120, go for a 30 or 40 breeder.

 

I agree with Sean, but the bigger the sump you can have the better. The reason I say this is because the more water volume you have, the easier it is to maintain water quality. If you can make a stand for the 90, why not just make one for the 120?
