Hello All,
I can't believe i just found this thread and it is already 4 pages long, and its just a glass box.
Allow myself to introduce.....(pause).....myself. My name is brian with kingfish aquariums in austin, and i have been slaving over this tank for the past few days. i have documented the installation and have some great eye candy.
Let me comment on the "poor design' of the overflow. We had no choice but to make it 12" wide because of the wavebox and extention, the 2 C.L. holes, and the constraints of the filtration closet. I definately see a dremel in my near future, i think i will start by cuting out every other tooth and using black eggcrate from behind to keep small fishes out.
I had already built the sump b/4 I noticed the bolts anchoring the stand down (even though these bolts are so unnecessary). So I planned and jointed some 2x4's and attached them together with waterproof wood glue and biscuit joints. I leveled the 2x4 sump riser with 1/8" and 1/4" pieces of rubber mat.
