Show me pics of tall, 40" or taller, tanks!

[sonofgaladriel]

I may have a 120"x24"/18"x 42" tall concave tank coming in a few weeks (still working out the details).
I'd like to see how some have aquascaped their narrow, long, but especially tall, tanks.
Any links to pics would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Thats gotta be a huge pain to 'scape and work on...

ya i would go wider if possible. I love the 42 or 48 tall but you need width as well.

ive worked on worse....i have front & rear access w/48" opnenings(x3)...wider is always better but i got this tank second hand so i gotta work w/what i got

only pain is scraping the bottom cuz u cant get a great angle for the scraper so i use a steal blade

gets alot of sunlight on the front cuz of the 14' windows, but if im regular about using the magnet cleaner i only need to scrape once a week

its a good work out for the forearms scraping and wiping 144sq' of acrylic

I like this thread. I'm in the planning phase of a 36x36x36

You going to put 1000ws on your 42"er?

 

[nyvp]

I wouldn't use 1000's I would use 400/w and if you have some SPS keep it from MID to high on tank. Corals dont know how deep the water is below them. Just keep your carpets and softies lower in the tank. Thats what I will be using on a 130x48x48 i'm starting to plan. Its not worth the extra $$ to move up in wattage.

 

[sciknen]

yea i planned on 1 400w for 36" deep


I can't believe more people don't have taller tanks

 

[sonofgaladriel]

Can anyone else share pics of tall (40" or taller), narrow, and long (10' or longer) tanks? I'm still searching for ideas on aquascaping and even considering just making this a freshwater discus tank.

Wow, how thick is the acrylic? Do you notice any bowing?

What corals can be kept on the floor with a 36' depth and 400 MH's ?
