Ira Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 You have to have a very good lid for that type of livestock. They tend to try and jump out when you fill the tank up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 What are the other dimensions? I've been comtemplating with my next big set up if I should pretty much fill up the available width like that one (have 2.9M gap, was thinking of going up to 2.8M long) or go a bit shorter and wider so I can squeeze down one end to access overflows etc. Thats a pretty good size for a glass tank tho! Have seen bigger (8x6x3') but that is pretty damn cool, stand looks nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 it's 3300x800x800. The frame is 65mm box section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smidey Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 so the filtration is run by a pump, 16,000LPH should be enough for an approx 2000L tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'm just waiting to have my details approved, I do have a soft spot for tangs and I'm really interesting to see how he sets the sump up given that I'll be setting up a fairly similar sized tank soon (just need to try talk Richard into building it on-site!).
