Hey guys, starting this tank back up. a house sell and buy and some life things have happened but im finally settling in and i think its time to set her up again.

 

I'm looking at redoing the plumbing to something more simple.

a local fish store recommended doing a glass holes overflow (700 with emergency drain)  with a eshopps sump. (rs 75)

 

What do you guys think?

 

Thanks

I can't help with the overflow question, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with this. 

I've been wanting to do a 40B peninsula for a while.

So this happened. The wife and i brought up the stand and could not find a place we were happy with the size or layout of the peninsula style tank. So because of all the work in the stand we decided to adjust the stand to accommodate a Cube style AOI. Let me know what your think!

Thinking either the JBJ 45 Gallon or the Innovative Marine 40. Any other suggestions, I'm willing to do a sump if its the right idea.

Thanks for the input guys!

I was about to comment that this build has the potential to bring back the 40B as the "it tank" again, then saw your new development.  You have great woodworking skills, the original stand came out beautifully and still is in its shortened version.  It's so easy to screw up that type of modification.  Nice work.  What are the dimensions of the top?

Thanks for the compliment. It's all my buddy. He's the master behind it all. 

 

Top is currently 25" wide by 24.5" deep. The interior portion is 18x18

 

 

top can be made larger to accommodate a different Tank.
