There's another one on there that's 89 bucks made by the same people. Mine came in today

On my coast to coast, where should I put the glass

On my coast to coast, where should I put the glass

I'm not sure I understand the question.
Is the tank drilled?- I drill 3 holes if I were drilling them- Mine came with 2 holes near the top corner- perfect for me to install my own C2C.

I'd put the bottom glass low enough where you can just get an elbow PVC in there, and the vertical glass from the back so you can get the elbow in there.
MIne is about 4.5inches high, and 4.5" front to back.

Research this ALOT before you do anything.

Will do! The tank was predrilled when I got it. They drilled it for 1" bulkheads though

 

[MidwesternTexan]

3x 1" would work

You wouldn't need as large of an overflow as mine, smaller elbows on 1".

Mine came drilled with 2 x 1.5"

Comments on the last photo group? Suggestions?

ONe of my favorite is the pic showing the wide land I have along the 6ft pane behind the rocks, so that the fish have 2 x 8ft pane to swim down, do laps, figure 8's, etc.

I moved my WP 40's (with the Todd Mod) down to the back wall, just under my C2C.

Cleaned things up a bit more, not really sure why I didn't do it this way first.

Was:


Now:


Tinkered and did lots of other stuff this morning too, rearranged a few corals, glued some more hunks of
GSP to the overflow, etc.

 

[WestTxReefer]

I have wp60's in mine..... Poor sand can't stay down lol

I have wp60's in mine..... Poor sand can't stay down lol

I have mine aimed slightly up and toward the center front, and I have to put rubble along the front, and it still blows my CC to BB spots in the front.

 

[WestTxReefer]

I have egg crate under my sand so I don't crack the glass and it has blown the sand down to the crate

 

[MidwesternTexan]

A little more progress on the stand outers.

I still have to glue the trim to the canopy outers.

I have the trim glued on and this is just layed up/mock up of the stand.
