miketron75 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I have designed and constructed a few versions of a kind of a chopped down nano type tank that is shallow, like a tide pool and can have rocks sticking up out of the water for crabs to climb out and starfish to hang on. Can support any tide pool creatures, fish and even corals.Just putting it out there to see if anyone is interested.... tide pool tidepool setup Link to comment

I have multiple models but the simplest works like a nanocube with the filtration area in the back. When you get into rising and falling waterlevels the evaporation increases emensly, cost goes way up and its really not that cool unless its a big display. Let me know if you are interested and I can send you some pics of my designes! Link to comment
jojoe972 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Man if I had room for one I would get it. Link to comment

Bio-Reef Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 price range? if its possible in any size could the height be from 12-15 inches? Link to comment

jojoe972 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 That's pretty sweet. If i didnt just add LEDS to my tank a few months ago I might have grabbed this instead. Link to comment

Psychosis Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Sold, pending more pics and price quotes (maybe feedback if possible) I still need my 3'x3'x13" built by some one that replies to emails on occasion haha. Maybe a smaller tank to start, but thats my big plan. Sorry, short version, if you could shoot me a pm that would be great. Link to comment
AquaticEngineer Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 What thickness of acrylic are you using for the tanks? Think you could do one in 3/4? If so how much? Link to comment
miketron75 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 What thickness of acrylic are you using for the tanks? Think you could do one in 3/4? If so how much?the bottom is 3/8" , the rest is 1/4....plenty thick enough...3/4" would be way overkill, and about 500$, but I can certainly do it... Link to comment

jojoe972 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 yes they make you spend and spend and spend! Good luck with everything and when I get a chance Ill pm you to see if I can have a smaller version made Link to comment

Just curious because if I got one I would need it to be at least 3/4 acrylic to prevent condensation build up since it would be for a coldwater tidepool tank. Link to comment
