My wife and I finally decided to make the move to a larger 210g tank that we purchased off of Craigsist. It is an Aqueon 210g tank with a nice furniture-quality base and a heavy 9" riser that is stained to match, placing the tank very high from the floor.
The tank will use a 65g sump, a new skimmer, my MP40ES's from my 90g, my Apex, LED's, my GEO calcium reactor, and my PM kalkreactor. Return will use a Dart pump.
I want to shadowbox the rear of the tank similar to the build that Serpentman did on his 300g, and because the tank glass on the bottom is tempered, it cannot be drilled. I want the back of the tank clean for the shadowbox, so I was considering drilling the sides at the top corner for a 2" bulkhead for overflows, and then using stained hardwood to hide the return plumbing on the sides.
I would really like to hear some opinions on this.
TIA.
