Deep Blue 80 gallon rimless build.

[james1990]

I have the DB 30 gallon rimless cube and I'm going back and forth on this tank or a 120. I'm thinking the extra height will allow for larger fish. looks great bud. why didn't you use the bulkhead in the overflow for your return? is that a herbie style? just curious on why you went that route

I went the full siphon route for my drain so the 3/4inch bulkhead is my emergency drain. It is completley silent. I hear the pump on my skimmer more than anything else on the whole system. 120's are nice but a little taller than I want to go at this point. The tallest I would want to go is 20'' I love the look of a shallow tank!

Thanks it will more then likely be readjusted once I move stuff over from the 90 gallon. I am hoping it stays very close to what it is now as I really like how it turned out so far.

Hey how'd you like the 80 rimless? Why'd you get rid of it so quickly? What would you do differently/change? Im thinking about getting the same tank and was admiring your setup!! I think I'm gonna do full siphon as well. Let me know your thoughts in hindsight. Thanks

Ended up moving.... setting up again... moving once again after buying a house and upgraded. Build thread to come on the upgrade once I make some more moves. Was a great tank. Now it is back in its original owners hands NWEST.
