I've always wanted that tank from the EU that is a ravine... 6' from to back, with a blue plastic rear and a disco ball for sparkling effect.

Well, let's hope it's not too slow.............Talked to Robert today. We are a go, and Leemar is giving me an extra inch. Tank is approved for 84" x 31" x 26" (approx 290 gallons). Stand will be 38" tall.......Sump is looking fantastic, but still changing it up a bit before the final go ahead.
Crisis OVER! Back on track. :bigsmile:

I am GEEKING out to the MAX right now!
Robert just sent me the updated design on the sump / fuge and it is AWESOME! I have asked him if its ok to post on hear for suggestions.....waiting to hear back.
I'm also stoned out of my mind on Percocet today as I had my surg this morning (went very smooth). So I told him I will have to wait on approval untill I can see it with a clear head.
First impressions............the colors are really pretty! :bigsmile:

ok, permission granted!
I have already found a few questions / suggestions, however I think Robert came up with a very cool design. Did you know he was an engineer?
first thought is placement of the skimmer return..........seems it doesnt allow for much of a bubble trap, or to run through the baffles to give time to dissipate.
second thought is really a suggestion........lower the last / third baffle maybe just an inch as a safety in case of my dumb a$$ clogging the egg crate media shelf.
third is that the pass through on the first baffle could / would allow fish / shrimp / snails, etc into the first chamber. this could be cool, as it gives more swimming room and i have no plans for any pumps in this chamber.........just might want to egg crate that as well.
I would also lean some egg crate on the first of the three baffles to keep themacro algea and fish from going through the baffles.
so cool, and so HUGE! LOVE IT!
Oh, and very pretty colors right? lol! Just me?
