Deckoz2302 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 That's what I was thinking rob - just was trying to guage whether it would be cheaper to have one built to my specs or for me to build one. Main problem is no table saw. I got a circular and miter...but when I tried acrylic in the past I've always cracked a 45$ sheet trying to use a circular lol... Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Just buy a tank that fits your dimensions and derim it. Woosh Link to comment
21093r53 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Just buy a tank that fits your dimensions and derim it. Woosh There's an option and that way only thing you need to cut is baffles Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Been there...done that..that's what my current sump is except not derimmed I wanna increase the height from 12 to 18 inches and do a double reverse separator sump such as here but taller Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 What dimensions do you need? If you just need a taller tank go with something like a 15 tall. That's 18" tall I'm pretty sure. Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 They make 15 talls? It would have to be 20x10 foot print...hmmm looking Edit....Joel I love you lol Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Haha love you too brad! I have a 15 tall that was a tetra tank for a while. It should be an easy tank to track down, I got mine at Petsmart. Marineland brand. Link to comment

gena Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Oh...I thought you had put up drawings before with two small tanks flanking the big tank...or was that the frag and mantis tanks? Maybe I dreamt it. Or maybe I'm psychic Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Your right this was the drawing/idea...but I'm changing it to clownemetope on right and seahorseytope on left I think...and new sump will be windowed for display.. Link to comment
gena Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Yep...that's the drawing! I like the idea for a window for the sump too! Bummer...I'm not psychic Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Window for sump = cool. sometimes the most interesting go on in there Link to comment
gena Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Window for sump = cool. sometimes the most interesting go on in there I think so too!!!!! I would soooo love to add a side display refugium full of cool macros. Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Yea. I think the seahorse tank I'll move the dragon tongue over.. and add 3 or 4 mangroves and some planted halimeda(sp?).and the new sump will be 20 long and 18 high...soon I'm thinking a fuge window that's 14inches wide by 14high. And maybe add another macro other then cheato to the sump..something bluish or orangish..maybe put a couple sponges Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Diggin whatcha got going on here. Looking forward to your finished product. Link to comment

Boy do I have macros for your sea horse tank! Word So I'm gonna concentrate on getting both tanks set up at the same time - provided my clowns can behave for a couple more weeks. Picking up a 15 high tonight provided pet smart still has it. So sump first. Then I'll add the water volume of both tanks after new sump.settles...oh this is gonna be funnnnnnnnn Link to comment
Felicia Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I somehow missed the decision to get a seahorse tank. Very cool! You're going to fill your entire house with tanks at the rate you're going Link to comment
