New Setup 120

[Malcolm_C]

I downgraded from the 450 to something that will fit in my Place. I have a 120 with 2 400W halides and a 100 gallong fuge, and a 20 gallon sump, this will be a acro tank. eventully i wll close it in, anyone have any idea how i can close this off with outh building a wall, some mentioned to me that i can get large sheets of rubber that i can but up and attach it with velcro, problem is i don't know were to get the rubber.

Malcolm -

How have you been?

Have you adjusted to South Florida life yet?

You could buy some fabric and make a curtain, a big piece of rubber might be expensive, but if you want to go that route Home Depot and Lowes sell rubber pond liners that you can buy by the foot.

Let me know if you need some help.

I feel ypur pain as me 2 dowgraded to a more manageable tank and dearly miss my big tank.
I think the curtain will take away from the look of the tank in the stairs . Perhaps some sort of hinge doors macthed to the color of the stairs would be an option?
The velcro thing is non-functional over time.

yea i agree, i was thinking a doing too large doors for the sump, just afraid overtime they would look jacked up, never made doors before, especiall somting so oddly shapped. i think i can put doors over the tank without too much issue.
