New diy zero edge infinity clam tank

[David MC Lee]

I decided to try and build one of these to put my Derasa in. It will be a look down tank.

Table saw, router, drill press. Inner tank is 18" sq and made of 3/8" acrylic. Base is 24" sq.

That's pretty neat. Get the acrylic from home depot?

This is so cool. How does the plumbing work on it?

I will pump water from my sump into center part of clam tank. Water will rise an overflow the to and run down into the outer tray and then will drain back into the sump.

When does it get water? What lighting are you going to use?

Hope to have water in it with in 2 to 3 weeks. I'm working on what pump to use. Main tank has 3 main pumps and I really don't want to add another. I have some old large ones that I may be able to use just one.

For the lights I had been looking at a kessil a360 ne. Hope to find a 4th of July sale.

Here are the adjustable feet to level the tank. They sit on a steel plate to spread the weight on the floor. Going to work on pumps and plumbing this weekend.

Where on line did you end up buying from? I'm curious because I need to build a couple of overflows.

estreetplastics.com second order. Very happy. They can get all the colors and they pack it very well.

Thanks. I don't think I've looked at them yet. Most places are a bit ridiculous with their acrylic prices.
