Congrat and welcome to the big tank lover thing Jasonnz :thup:
Why?? and what up with these wooden stand bro?? to me you have spent twice the $$ over a 50mmx50mm Glav pipes...
if you go with the metal stand, you wouldnt have to worries about bracing/rotten, and to achieve wooden grain looked you can alway screw wood panel/Meltecapanel to metal stand bro.. :thup:
Poly sheet? i would grab 4 panels ready to silcone surrounding for good heat insulation to help the vol of heated water..
I didnt do my so no oportunity do it anymore.. :facepalm:
Im guessing you got Greg to driledl a couple of holes in tank for future sumping??
If i get oprotunity to do my tank again i would chosen side overflow instead of bottom overflow drilled.. :smln:
with the size of tank it would be better to sump it..It ok to do tiny fish with fx5 i think, but one of those day if you decide to change your mind into monster fish keeping, then a fx5 wouldnt handle heavy stock.. :happy2:
My tank is 900mm height, I attached a bamboo stick to my gravel syhpon when i clean my tank :happy2:
Good on You Jasonnz, enjoy your hard working tank, Its feel great to own a big tank.. :happy1:
