spectra Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 So the Versa was not big enough and I like the 48" footprint so.......48x30x16 OBD tank is what I went with. Custom stand built by me and going to run a 48" ATI with a few LED arrays tossed in for good measure.....more details to come as this is still a work in progress....... Going with re claimed barn wood for the doors and also a trim around the tank. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joestotz Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I gotta know how much the tank was ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectra Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 I gotta know how much the tank was To much.......and remember if you have to ask With the Synergy ghost overflow and the custom tank and delivery it was a little over a grand. The price we pay for our hobbies.........that drive us nuts....... I will stop there as if I add it all up I might cry plus the livestock I have 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joestotz Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Haha I get it. I just got quote on a 48x48x24 walk around with starfire on all 4 sides from OBD. It's a lot of money but that's what I want so I'm going to pull the trigger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectra Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 Well got a box of goodies from BRS..... But decided on another sump.......so no plumbing this weekend......I like the rimless one I have but I want a bigger fuge so am going with a 40 breeder and it is on order. I gain more volume and only lose a little room. The tape is the 40 breeder dimensions. Over flow is mounted and ready to plumb.....but at least this gives me time to figure out my flooring dilemma in the house....... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
