gawf4fun Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hey all, I posted this in the classifieds too. OOps. I'm looking for a glass tank along the lines of an Aquapod or a CADlights or a ViaAqua which is in the 22 to 30 gallon capacity range. I currently have an 11 gallon ViaAqua which needs more room for the overgrown corals which are fighting incessantly. Ideally the tank will have a false back for my skimmer (Tunze nano) heater, carbon, etc. Rimless is fine, but not a requirement, and preferably with minimal, if any, scratching. No lighting required. Please let me know what you've got and what your asking. Thanks, mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariansaltwater Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I have a 30 gallon Eclipse XH tank (same foot print as a 20 high 12x24). It isn't a stand alone system like those you listed, however, I have it set up like a reef system..Stand, T5 light, return pump, skimmer in the sump...oh yeah...a sump, heater in sump too. Tank is drilled for an overflow in the top left corner with a small overflow box. and a single return on the top right. If you want corals in it you would need a better light. The T5 just doesn't penetrate all the way to the bottom for hard corals, but it's a great little system. I'd like $150 for the entire setup...it has LR in it and stand with a good supply of pods too.

Rick Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Check out the tank in my spiral bulb growout thread (link in my signature) and let me know if it would work. As I recall it's about 21" deep and 24" wide. It stands 12" tall and has an overflow area in back. (About 27 gallons if I remember right) It's currently plumbed into my system so it shares the sump with my DT. It could be plumbed to either have a sump or to be a closed loop using the overflow area for a small skimmer (provided it will fit there). Send me a PM to discuss it further if your interested.

Matt Thanks for the message Matt, but not the sort of footprint I was thinking. Those stand alones have more surface area which is what I'm looking for, as well as an all-in-one format. I appreciate the reply. Good luck, Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
