Horerczy Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Fascinating shape for a tank. Gonna have a lot or light spill but i don't think there's a cost effective way around that anyways. Following along for the sake of curiosity. Link to comment
ABC Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Looks like a fun tank project! Following along. Link to comment
markalot Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Hello all! I've been debating for a little while now about setting up a new reef and what I would do. Well this tank and stand I found made the decision for me as to whether I would set something up or not. It's a roughly ten gallon rimless wedge with a custom made mahogany stand. It's 22" across the back and 13" high with 15" front panels. Glassholes Super Nano Con Dientes overflow and return installed. I still have to stain the stand and put hinges on it then paint the back of the tank black but you get the drift. Looking forward to a fun build. I like the way it appears the snowman on the right is holding a gun. Interesting tank shape, looking forward to seeing what you can do with it. Link to comment

Following along for the sake of curiosity. Well, a triangle certainly presents some unique limits vs a four-sided tank, but proper lensing and some directional lighting (thinking GU10's + an Ikea fixture - nothing fancy) would easily beat any "standard" fixture. (i.e. no lenses or maybe 90º) I think it might even be posssible to have zero light-spill. Shucks...on my tank with these lights, I don't even spill light onto the glass let alone into the room. I rarely have to scrape the glass on that tank. Not so on my tank with a commercial fixture. (These are rectangular tanks, BTW.) Following along to see how this turns out! -Matt Link to comment
