Hi all,
I am looking at building a system (probably FOWLR or possibly some corals depending on the amount of light that I can get into the tank) which would also function as a "coffee table" in my lounge. Essentially looking at building a tank about 1.8mX1.5mX0.6m or so that will sit on the floor (suspended wooden floor) with a removable glass lid (table top). For lighting am thinking of a suspended unit with metal halides. Filtration would have to be "in tank" as such (as I do not want to have to crawl under the house everytime I need to do any maintainance). I am thinking of having a central box made using black perspex with a home made skimmer (sort of like the one at Julies in Gateway) and all the pumps, heaters etc in it.
Any suggestions and/or comments welcomed!
Cheers
Kevin
