[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

how do i go about making a sum in a aga 54 gallon bow front that is a cornoer tank with a limited amount of space under the tank , has anybody done it and how?

Measure the available space below. Then contact someone to make you a custom acrylic one. Custom king is your guy

corner tanks are a pain man..biggest you could put is like a 10 or 15 gallon see what fits and just do it yourself.

Make sure whatever you get can fit through the stand doors and into position

yeah this corner tank has saved me space over the years with my cichlids but now as saltwater its a flipping nightmare i cant tell you the obsticles i have had to get around from setting it up to setting up the lighting , man this things a pain in the acan.

that means you have to upgrade to a bigger tank and something you will really like

yeah i would love a bigger tank man but i really dont have the room, or the floor support, lol
if i had the room i would have a 175 easily these odd shaped tanks are cute but they suck big time

i know u asked me for a pic in your last thread. here is my 16 gal bow for a sump..

what are u going to use for lighting?

 

[jrobbins]

would the 30something gallon corner tank fit in the stand? if so that might make the most sense.

i ended getting a sump custom made for it when i had my 54 bow. well not a sump, just a tank. i built my own sump out of it. it cost me about 100 bucks to get built and sent to my house. worked great. if you want the company number i can look up my old recipts.

I have one and will send you some pics... it's a 10 gallon. I just added a 3 gal hang on back refugium to it a couple of weeks ago. Yes, it's a PITA!!!!
