I have am purchasing a 300 gallon glass tank and want to get advice on the build as I go along.
I am planning on this taking awhile so please be patient.
Tank is a used Glass Cages 300 gallon (96" x 30" x 25" tall), with 4 openings on top. Overlows at each end. I will be using it as a freestanding room divider.
Here is a drawing of the stand frame that I am planning on.
I plan on using 2 x 4's and 2 x 2's. The top will be covered with 1/2" or 3/4" plywood along with the bottom shelf for a 75 gallon
sump/
refugium.
Anyone see any issues with the frame as it is now?
I am struggling with the lights. Currently on my 90 gal I have 2-250 XM20k abd 2-VHO
actinics. I like the light from the current set up which I did as a retrofit in a homemade fully enclosed canopy.
This time I want to have an open top tank and have a light that hangs from the ceiling. My wife would like some type of premade fixture. I cannot find anything 8' long. Any of the 4' long lignt seem to want to have the
MH;s right over the cross brace when 2 are put end to end (not to mention any airflow issues). Any thoughts on what I can get? I would like to go with 4 250watt pendants, but I still want the
actinics as well.
Thanks Steve
