40"x14"x10"

I was thinking of building a diy AIO tank. 40x14x10 sps domnaited tank. 21.82 gal. about 18 running gal.

OR 30x10x10 12.99gal

 

what do you think I could do to get a wide med strong flow in this size of tank?

 

Rules. must be AIO. no sump. no larger than 30 gal total. other than this anything goes.

 

So leta see what ideas you all have.

Why the sump hate? IMO the best SPS tanks are usually sumpped. Chris at pico aquariums has some good stuff tho!

try to go with a higher dimension.

the placement for the sps will be annoying for you with only 10" of height,even though it will be much less.

subtract about 1-2 inches for substrate and about 1 inch for the water...then youre roughly left with 8 inches of height.

i have trouble getting good placement for sps in my 12" high tank.

they grow and start to poke out of the water.

 

just my 2 cents

Thanks for the advice. just wanted a shallow tank. not something big. like my 46g.
