skeet103 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Ok so tank and equipment don't count except for $350 for lighting? thats alot of lighting! My real question is I am currently building and AIO once the store opens after the holidays and I can buy the acrylic. Here is my question My tank is going to be between 3.85 and 4.25 gallons.. the back is going to be .75- 1.0 gallons, does the sump part count as the tank...if not I am fine otherwise I may be close depending on my final build specifications Link to comment
hlander Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 No the tank must be under 5 gallons Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 No the tank must be under 5 gallons The actual tank is uder 5G the sump makes it larger though. We should say sumps and fuges don't count in the water volume. Link to comment
KMitch Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 The actual tank is uder 5G the sump makes it larger though. We should say sumps and fuges don't count in the water volume. Wait.. then someone could have a 125 gal fuge..... that'd make for a nice stable tank. ??? Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Wait.. then someone could have a 125 gal fuge..... that'd make for a nice stable tank. ??? good point Link to comment
hlander Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 No sumps or fuges besides in the filter or back chamber Link to comment

Mustang Boy Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 No dumps or fuges besides in the filter or back chamber i had to read that like 3 times before i noticed the word "in" between "besides" and "the" i was like wait what i cant mod an AC into a fuge lol. also might be a good move to edit the original post to include that guideline Link to comment
