Small Cube with Sump


Totara

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I have been designing a 40cm cube aquarium, with a 10cm sump hanging off the back. I eventually want to make this into a nano reef, but will probably keep it as a Dwarf Puffer tank for the time being. So essentially I want to build a 40cm long, 40 cm high, 50 cm wide tank. This will allow for me to place the 10cm sump at the back with a piece of acrylic I will get made. What I want to know that is 5mm glass thickness enough for it?

Regards,

Will

The aquanano 40 which is have is only 4 or 5mm glass and its OK, but the front and sides are seamless.

If I were building one I'd go 6mm, and consider 8mm back and bottom

Just buy an aquanano, 140 from living reef.co.nz and comes basically as what you are trying to build :)
