Almost 11 foot long tank!
I am going to start a big of a thread for this tank. It belongs to a good friend of mine who is internet challenged. I have been helping with the design, set up, etc...
Tank is a glass cages, 10ft 10"x24"x24" It will have two overflow boxes on the back. Sump is going to be custom built, and will be 6ftx16"x16" This will be a reef tank, with lots of fish. Stand will be finished this week, and we are expecting the tank next week. He had a 125 that all livestock will be transfered from, as well as a lot of new stuff! Pics to come soon.

so it's a 10 foot tank, not almost 11
picky i know, but if it was like 10'10" you could say 'almost 11', but it's 10, so why not say 10' tank? |

Depending on what he is going to keep, the only possible downside would be additional lighting, and extra equipment for water movement.
I love the idea of a long tank. Plenty of cruising room for fish, and room for a aquascaping. |

The tank will have 3 islands of rock, center will be acros, outside ones with be mixed.
There will be several tangs, a school of anthias, a group of lubbocks, a pair of maroon clowns, etc... I just talked to him and he was staining the stand, so I will try to get pics of it soon.

Dayum....... what are you going to do with a almost 11 footer. That's a nice size tank. What is your plans for 'scaping ?

Use a OM with the 1-3, 2-4 pattern and a dart pump. Works Great .
