Still have my old style 45, want this stand and magically move the overflow. I missed out on the piano finish stand for my Versa by a few months, now this.

damn it...i just bought a Red Sea Reefer 350 after asking for your shallow 45g for a long time.

 

I actually thought right about you

Hard to beat a reefer 350, no? Saw one at a LFS and loved it.

yea but it's like twice the price and i like the shallow dimension more. The reefer is super awesome though. But if I have to choose between the two, I would pick the shallow tank.

Hey everybody

 

Ninjamyst: You definitely was one of the guys we thought of when we re-vamped the Versa Shallow reef 45G. I dont know the time lines for the releases until my boss tells us about the upcoming stuff.

 

Waytoospicy: The Versa Shallow reef 45G will come just like the other Versa packages so it wouldn't have a skimmer but can easily be added or be sold without one. I know that at least the 1st batch of the Versa Shallow reef 45G will come with a FREE Artisan ATO reservoir.

 

 

Thanks, im going to try to take a few pics and post them up here this week. one local customer just set one up and hes sent me a few pics with it running.

Just got a nice pic of the 45G Versa Shallow reef system from a customer. its set up for about 1 week so hes waiting to put in the corals. Hes going for Full SPS, which is awesome with the 45G Shallow reef's unique top view.

Oh no ninjamyst! please don't go haha. then you really shouldn't go and check out a pic intensive build thread of the 45G Shallow Reef Versa link by a professional SPS hobbyist in the "video" post I just made.

 

I wish it would've came in earlier and I bet you would've have reefed the heck out of it!

Hey Scott what is the dimensions of the overflow size and the bulkhead size?

Hey Spiderguardnano

 

The overflow box is 6" x 6". giving a display area of a full 36 x 24 all the way to the approach of the overflow box at 6" from left wall. gives an incredible amount of reef-scaping space. it uses a 1.25" drain and 1/2" return.

 

Thanks

Do you take trades? My old 45 for the new 45, mines in good condition, just sitting in the corner dry with no hope of being filled up.id want a herbie too.mand what was that red pic you gave us before rap, a sump ?

Hi, Fishstiks

 

Sure, we can drill an extra hole for you if you want to run a herbie drain.

 

Thanks

One more question. I am debating between this tank, and the 70g Artisan. Can you guys drill standard holes in the 70g instead of the metric sizes you use? I would prefer to use US standard size bulkheads as I would like to hard-plumb the tank with sch 40 pipes.

Hey Fishstiks

 

Sure, we can drill the 70G for you as well and customize to SCH40 holes. but I want to let you know that we have upgraded to the new SCH60 fittings (grey) since about 4 months ago and they are much better than SCH40 soft aquarium black ones. the new fittings are hand tight also and no need for pliers. but if you would like us to customize the holes for you is no problem, takes 1 day extra for the drilling.

 

Thanks

Ok, I pushed and pushed so I guess we are able to finally release these earlier than scheduled. here are some pics that I shot myself. the professional ones would've taken longer. we are building them here in California, and going to make an initial batch right now.

 

The release date of these sumps will be Dec. 10th. and we are doing an AWESOME special on these.

 

Comes in 3 sizes:

 

24 x 15 x 15

36 x 15 x 15

48 x 15 x 15
