Current Project - 50g Prop Tank

Recommended Posts

Just want to share some pics of a current project - acrylic 50g. It's going to be a LPS-specific holding tank. Dims are 48x20x12 and socalcreations.com (of course) made the tank for me. Black acrylic back. 4 holes for returns via 1/2" bulkheads and 1 corner hole for 1-1/2" bulkhead-overflow.

 

Here's a couple of pics. Just finished part of the manifold-style return plumbing. Sexy black pvc (well, for some of it at least).

I'll post more pics as the tank progresses.

Blue Foam Mat as usual, but also put a black plastic sheet to make the bottom black for top-down contrast.

Tigahboy,

 

Another very sweet looking setup! I like all your tanks...they represent so much thought and detail dedicated to them. Excellent job!

Very nice Job, two questions:

 

Are you liking that light now that you havr been fiddling with it? I am torn between the 4 bulb 36 inch model and the light that lgreen has.

 

Where'd you get the black eggcrate?
