Daveg99 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Current full tank shot It almost has the foot print of a 125 tank but its only 70 gallons. The tank is 72"x16"x14". I recently bought a new house and finally have the room for a long tank. My yellow tang is going to be happy! I plan on transfering everything from my 47 gallon tank into this one. I had it built by planet aquariums here in Dallas. My last three tanks have been built by them. Its rimless with beveled glass edges, PVC bottom, black vinyl covered back, and it has two 1" drains and one 3/4" return. Im going to get another maxspect razor 160watt and connect it to my razor that I have now. Im going to start on the stand next week and I plan on building a sump out of a 30 gallon tank. Here are a few pictures of the tank.... Link to comment

Daveg99 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Its got 1/2" glass. Its pretty heavy. The bottom is made from 3/4" plywood with a layer of 1/4 pvc over it and a layer of black plastic over that. I love planet aquarium tanks. They do awesome work. Link to comment
Daveg99 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Got my 30 gallon tank for my sump today. Have to add the acrylic baffles. Got most the framing done on the stand. Still need to add more 2x4's across the short side on the bottom and top. I made this stand 40" tall . Link to comment
