Big T Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I'm planning a new tank build, going to be 10ftx2x2 with 6ft sump, external coast to coast bean animal overflow with returns on left and right of back wall. This setup would be set in the main dinning area of our new house build, so a neat high quality and silent finish would be essential. It will be one the main features in the house. Also it would sit almost flush between two walls with only 17cm in total left from the 10ft mark. Pic attached of space. With the way it will sit I will have pretty much no access to plumbing in the back or the sides of tank. I plan to have the back and sides black ?painted ?vinyl ??recommendations. With the new house almost ready i am now looking at finalising the plans and ordering. Can anyone recommend great tank builders or stores. Any tips or advice for tank this big and anything i should keep in mind. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 My advice is design your tank in a way that you always have access to your plumbing, not having access to plumbing will only cause headaches later down the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishdance Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 If no noise is a requirement, I would use canister filters. Plumb through base (with double taps). You can put canisters on roll out trays for better access if space is limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big T Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 Yes i do worry about access to the plumbing. I might have to get someone from Abyss Aquariums to visit and plan this thing right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
