Custom Tank??

tchndie · 04/20/2011, 03:04 PM

Hello. Thanks for looking!! I am looking for some help from fellow reefers in the Toronto area!! I am trying to get the best custom tank! Does anybody have any suggestions on where to go?? I'm looking for a starfire tank 96x30x26 LxWxH. What size of overflow would you go with?? Would you go with external rear or extenal sides?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!!

Is that cm or inches?

Either way look at a floating overlow box centered and in tank. With bulkheads though the back. Put a return hole in one of the corners. Do Starfire only on the front panel as that is the only side you will usually be looking at.

Cheers.
For sure look at the floating overflow option. Allot cleaner in my opinion. Plus it lets you do the plumbing where its reachable (on the back of the tank instead of inside the stand).

You might ask if your local LFS can import a Lee Mar tank...
