I guess it's not really rimless anymore I had a friend who owns a framing company make me a custom frame to fit around the edges. I then attached some bird netting that I got at HD and attached it with staples so my fishes can't jump out!

That is a beautiful tank. Really love the slick look of it and that Kessil looks awesome!!!
Got any more pics of inside the tank??

Haha, I was going to say that!!

Tank looks great!

Not a nano though

Don't be surprised if your thread gets moved. Nano is 34g or less per forum rules.

I love the kessil great coral growth and the adjustability is nice can create your own spectrum.
i got it also for the fact that there is not a ton of light bleed in the room it is concentrated to mostly the tank!!

I have the same 50g cube and was looking to get a Kessil a350 also. Thanks for the pics. The tank looks real nice.

I love the custom canopy. Would your friend be willing to build and ship another custom canopy like yours?

londonloco · 07/01/2012, 06:47 AM

Very pretty tank. I'm having a rimless 36"x24"x18" built this summer and am considering Kessil for my lighting. I didn't see it noted, would you post the dimensions of your tank? Thanks!

erosenlieb · 07/01/2012, 06:47 AM

Thanks I can talk to him its pretty easy almost like you are framing a picture. I bet if you went to a local frame shop and told them what you are doing they would have no problem making something aimilar . You won't be dissapointed by the kessil!!

Tank is 20x20x20 I think for the dimensions of your tank you should wait until the wide angle version comes out wider spread but with less depth penetration. You might need two for that size though? Good luck with the build!!

Using the following input parameters
Tank Length = 20 inches
Tank Width = 20 inches
Tank Height = 20 inches

Tank volume is calculated as
Tank Volume = 34.6 Gallons

Am I missing something? I though your tank was a 50G.

No, That is correct. I wonder why he thinks its a 50g? Atleast its in the right sub forum lol.

pugcrush · 07/01/2012, 10:26 PM

Is that 20 'INCHES'? Looks more like a 60 gal cube dimensions. Nice tank anyways

tmantaylor18 · 07/01/2012, 11:10 PM

Great looking aquarium

I'm sorry my dimensions were incorrect it's 24X24X20 it's 50 gallon with 18 gallon sump

I saw a Kessil today in person and I was taken back by the results of that light. Doesnt look to be anything short of perfect for that tank.

I had two of the A150 one Ocean Blue 10K and one Sky Blue 15k on it before the A350 came out. I was so impressed with the combination of the two of these that I had to have the 350 when it came out. I really like it and for this size of tank it's perfect.

How are you liking that skimmer?

It's nice a definite upgrade from the skimmer that comes with this setup. I bought this second hand and a big part of it was because of the upgraded skimmer! I am just getting it dialed in now but overall it skims great and would recommend it for a tank this size.

I ordered a Kessil a350 last night. You got the regular one right? Not the wide a350w? I'll check out some local frame shops but if your friend says he can do it then maybe we can work something out. Since he's already done one it would save me from having to explain it to someone and he could probably match the finish of the stand better after having seen yours. Your tank is a cadlights artisan 50g cube right with the espresso stand?
