Rimless Aquarium Club

Did I miss the specs on this sweet tank? Looks great. What's the size and builder?

Looks like theres a roman theme going on with this one....Cool
Is that a statue in the tank?
 
i'm hoping to join soon...with a larger rimless aquarium.

i'm shooting for 72x36x20 with a 10 bulb 60" ati fixture, atb 10.5 deluxe internal skimmer, and tunze pumps. will either be from age or miracles probably.
 
"Looks great! What happened to it?"

Me opening a small business in this crappy economy is what happened :) And a spawning in which i lost all sps...that was not fun.

"mac, that tank looks (looked?) great! what light is that?"

Thats just a ReefPotix 3 pendant with a Helios 250 DE bulb. Used to Have an Ati Powermodul and the growth was amazing, but i missed the shimmer.

"Nice Color Bro...I like! Those fans work to cool down the halide?"

They work really really well to keep the tank at normal temp. They dont cool the halides since its not aimed at it,..its aimed at the water surface. But i live in Los Angeles and never had a problem with high temp with that just that cheap/nice fan on it. works great.

Yea, I meant the heat from the halides.....
 
So what are the nice places to get these from? I'm looking for something solana-esque, I don't know if I want a solana now though because I'm looking at 24x24 footprint tanks. GC has some but I can't customize them.

Also with those I'll have to add a sump and that'll add to the $$$ being spent... oh well
 
Spank. I'm not sure what you mean when you say "you can't customize them". GC will build you what ever you want. Are you wanting a AIO tank?
 
Yeah I ran into the same thing with my 24x24x16. I used the same gallon size rectangle version and the price was the same or really close. The options are the same when you customize it.
 
Wow yea and my grammar was horrible in the above post haha I sounded like a caveman.

How satisfied are you with you GC tank? Do you have a link to your build, as the red houses have been removed -_-
 
I'm happy with it for the money. It is not perfect and may use Miracles next time for my next step up in size. I think it will be my last.

I do not have a build thread. I did not have the time to do a build thread the require so much attention.

Sorry for your loss bro. Hope you can rebuild soon. :)
 
Well I'm seriously considering going rimless. I have a RFQ's out locally and with Miracles, and so far Miracles has come back with a very competitive quote.

I was thinking I might go pick it up myself to save a few bucks, but after talking with Derek it doesnt really make sense to go get it.

Tank size will be 48" x 24" x 22"

After reading through the last 16 pages, I really liking the Glass holes 700g overflow centered, and 2 - 3/4" returns w/ one on each side of the overflow.

Anybody have any do's and don'ts they can post up before I go and make a dumb mistake somewhere in my planning.

Thats really why I want to tear down my current tank. Not very thought out from the beginning. Well I thought it was LOL, but after a few years MANY flaws have shown up.
