My Tank

Very nice, looks like the cabinet is made to be very quiet.

 

[Fishnthecorner]

Thank you. Yes, It's in my living-room, so I wanted to get it as quiet as possible. Along with the "Herbie", it is practically silent! Actually the only thing you can hear is that Highly overpriced MP-60...

Looks good. That is a massive bow front. Any tank near a bar is a plus in my book.

Beware, you know someone is going to request an equipment list. Its non avoidable. lol

All of the equipment is listed on the site!

My bad. After I saw the tank and the photos i didn't page down farther.

I just put a light sandbed in it, and now the MP60 is blowing it away. And I got it turmed all the way down. Might need to get rid of either the mp or the sand bed...

Or you could put down a layer of heavier pieces of rubble just in the MP60's immediate path to keep the lighter sand in place.

Very nice build and very organized !!

The only thing i would have done is paint the side walls. So you wouldn´t have to see the Mp60 cable.

Would it only be FOWLR or are you gonna put some corals in ?

Thank you. It will remain a FOWLR. My wife's favorite fish is the dogface puffer.

I love corner tanks... I have a lil sibling of yours (92c) I always thought if I upgraded it would have to be to another corner tank, but I didnt know how big they come. Now that's a tank!! What are its dimensions? Was it custom made or a standard size for a large corner?

Thanks for sharing, you've inspired me to hold off on a rectangular upgrade.

You can post in the Corner Club, plenty of people w corner tanks would love input from you and to see this!

That is very nice. I almost bought the 54 and 92 corner many times

 

[Fishnthecorner]

Yes Bernie, It was custom built. I shopped around, I got quotes from $1800 all the way to $15,000! The dimensions on the tank are 48" deep 30" high. The "Bow" is about 7'-8'.
3/4" Acrylic sides. 1/2" front, top, & Bottom.
