Hello
Well where do i start
I am totally new to this hobby, well the saltwater side of things
I lived on the coast in Australia my whole life but I have only ever really had, sorry lost my place i was watching the start of formula 1, anyway i havnt had a salt water aquarium yet.
I have a wall at home between two couches where i would like to place my new aquarium.
I really liked the half cylinder aquariums but after a few queries i decided that i didnt really want the 'easy' scratch aspect of the acrylic tanks.
I then organised a bowed glass to be made from one of the glass artists in the area here in northern germany-for this i chose optiwhite or i think its called satinglass its white instead of green glass.
this has a length of 125cm with a depth of 25cm and a hight of 60cm in inches thats approx 50 long 10 deep and 24 high
I have a back wall length of 155cm / 60" and i would like to have a total depth of approx 75cm so side walls around 50cm
here are a few pics that may help

What's your question? I'm sure the gank will be lovely...and 100g is lots of water volume, so you'll have more options...

Are you thinking more reef or fish?

hope you have a money tree. I traded my money tree for my reef tank. it was worth it

Im looking to get a reef system setup
I think I was a little ripped of but i bought em anyway
I have an Aqua Medic Peculator or percuflotor with the pump directly underneath an oceanrunner 2500-im hoping it will be enough for the tank i also have the twin 150W Aqua Medic Srarlight HQI, the pump I have is a ATK 10064 10000ltrs/hour at a head pressure of 6.4meters
Im unsure as to how i will be doing the overflow
Im looking at a deltec system they have a dry channel and the overflow, the dry has the return line which means no bulkhead fitting and also cables can then go straight into the cupboard
I have photos of the setup i like except they are all too large to add to the photo gallery

Well im still working it through here
I really like the Deltec stuff
I dont live far from the factory here in Germany
My tank will hopefully look similar to the in my gallery
Has anyone got any reviews on the wavy seas
Im looking at putting one in the centre of may tank
doing a round till it hits the overflow and then back till it hits the overflow from the otherside
