16x16x20 update!

[reefkingdom]

So I finally got it!

 

So now if you can redirect yourself to the hardware section you will see I need some help making room for this bad boy. which means I need to get rid of my chameleon cage. please send me some offers people.

 

 

 

So I just ordered a 16x16x20 acrylic tank with an internal overflow/black back/Two returns/round corners/ with a black Glossy formica stand & canopy for $750

 

The only bummer is that I have to wait 3 weeks to be made, or so that's what Aquarium City told me.

 

Now I have to come up with a custome sump and HQI light to fit a 8" tall canopy?...

That sounds like the same tank I have, and I used a 150w MH retro with a 14k Phoenix bulb,from illuming.com.

 

This light is AWESOME over that tank!

 

Doesn't it have a built-in sump in the back? Or do you just want a larger sump?

 

Awesome avatar btw.

I love frogfish.

really? Do you have any pics of the tank?

 

In regards to the sump; It is a custom tank so I am or someone is going to have to make one for me. I am thinking about a micro bag with some live sand/rock and a protein skimmer.

 

150 watts actually lit up a 20" in depth?

[Weetabix7]

Yeah, it did actually.

 

Just put lower light stuff on the bottom and higher light demanding stuff closer to the top.

I think 175 would be a better bet.

 

Do you have any pics?
