Hi
As some of you already know my old 2,7M tank developed a crack on the bottom

Thus the new tank is in making

LFS is busy building a new tank for me and this time I am designing it to my liking, all sides Clear-vu glass (starphire) 22 mm bottom glass and Euro bracing and a center cross bracing. Bean animal overflow and a return box

The tank is 2500 mm x 750 mm x 650 mm
Sump 1 is 1500 mm x 500 mm x 400 mm
Sump 2 is 1200 mm x 450 mm x 480 mm
refugium 1000 mm x 500 mm x 500 mm

The tank will go in my drywall fish room and I will cut a window in the wall to see the tank, hopefully less dust and better temperature control

Some pictures

Shiney shoes... :tt2:

Looks good. Nice size and I like all the extra filtration. Hope all goes OK.

Is the old tank still up?

yes the old one is still holding, and as for the shiny shoes, it is law that all heavy vehicles must have reflectors :)

Thanks, the pipes you see is from my current system, and will be removed after the move to the new tank
