Tanks with view from 3 sides

ttt64 · 03/02/2007, 03:22 PM

I am designing my next setup and am considering a tank that is viewable on three sides. One short side would be dedicated to the overflow. Does anyone have any pictures of a setup similar to this? if not, how about 4 side viewable.
Thanks!

Beautiful tank Gisho!

I have seen pictures of a 4-side viewable cube on here but I can't remember where.

My new tank is viewable on all four sides, although one side does contain the overflow and blocks part of the view

Thank you sir. It looks better now, the corals are all grown out and I completely enclosed the top of the tank and covered all equipment (lights, balasts, fans, plumbing, etc.).

I think all these tanks rock!

yeah 3 sides viewable is the way to go, Its like seeing several tanks, you can have a completely different looking tank on the opposite side.

Thanks. Setup is pretty common; sump, ER skimmer, refugium w/ chaetomorpha macro algae, closed loop, 400W X 3 10K MH, 160W X 2 acitinic VHO supplementation, etc. I do use Poly-filters and run Chemi-pure 24/7 which IMO/IME help with water clarity and quality.

HTH.
