Well, I bought a 65 gallon tank and I am planning on putting it in the wall where my 45 gallon now resides. The room behind the tank is minimal, so the extra depth of the tank(18 inches) will have to be built protruding out of the wall 6 inches. I also wanted to get rid of my siphon overflow, but a traditional reef ready tank was not feaseable due to the arrangement of the plumbing behind the tank, as you will see in the pic's. I thought I would share my progress, and update it as I go.
Here is a shot of the 45 gallon after I pulled off the trim
and here is the 65 gallon tank
I painted the back blue with krylon fusion and drilled a hole in the upper left corner with my dremmel for the overflow.
I have finished adding a refugium to my existing sump system, the main tank dumps into it, and it then dumps into the return section and skimmer section.
Here is the frame I added to the outside, and you can also see my diy halide/p.c. sliding pendant.
And here is my progress so far.
FUN WITH TOOLS!!!!!!!!!
Thanx for lookin'
