Tank ideas open to feedback

also i have been thinkin about crossing over to T5's I have PC right now

 

Try liveframing. There are a couple ways to do it. You can drill through the LR with a masonry and frame it together using PVC. Or you can hold it together with acrylic rods. In your case, because width is a problem, maybe try mounting a piece of starboard flush to the inside back of your tank. You would then use the starboard as an anchor point to hook on LR with PVC and epoxy. This way you could create a stable wall that sits very flush to the back of the tank, giving the appearance of more space. I would increase the circulation in you system if you did that though.

I hope that makes sense. I did not want to write a novel, but if you need more explanation don't hesitate to ask. I wish I had a link or something I could send you...

 

Also you can try aragocrete. Suckafishtankcleaning and I have been making some up lately and I know some other people on here have given it shot.

 

i wouldn't bother plumbing a 55 because you're gonna get real tired of the narrowness eventually and upgrade, i'd wait till then to start drilling holes,j.m.o.
you could hide the equipment behind the rock though,add some more rock,other than that i think i'd leave it be,nice looking tank!

 

Hey hit, sometimes seeing others tanks helps. I have a 55 gal. (narrow) but the aqua scape can make it appear to have more depth. Here is mine;

 

i really do appreciate the input and the compliments thanks a lot folks.also this is my newest addition ricordea

 

Hey, I am going to get the orange one also but just out of curiosity, what did you pay for that one and what size is it (fully open)?

 

i paid about $40 bucks it came on the empty snail shell attached also were a few polyps and fully open its about a inch to inch and a half in diameter

 

Thanks, that's what they are here.

 

yeah when i got the peice i saw some more polyps inside the shell but they havnt came out yet and i havnt moved to the shell but left enough opening incase they want to come out and move locations
