20 Gallon Abyss

[Brian1313]

I have the opportunity to get an IM 20 gallon Abyss (not the peninsula one).  I have always wanted one cause I think they look awesome but want to get feedback on those who have one or had one on whats good about them and whats bad?  I have a IM 20 gallon already so most of the gadgets and stuff I already have and will transfer over so not worried about that.  Thoughts or pictures would be awesome?  Also any stand Ideas would be great too

transfer over? you mean experienced buying gear so you can set up a second, right?  😉

Haha I wish however if I can swing it financially I may make the abyss my office tank at work but would need to buy a new light.

The acrylic ones had issues with bowing and leaking. Due to it not being braced.

 

I haven't seen any negative issues with the glass version.

I have the 20 gallon panorama and absolutely love it.

The one I may be getting is the glass.

Have you had any issues with flow?

No not really.  I installed a powerhead of course for more directional flow to certain areas but that's it.
