My buddy makes fish tanks for a living, and I found this piece of scrap laying around, and was instantly struck by how perfect it could be. Think about a pyramid of LR from the front to the back (obviosly it still NEEDS a back, and a bottom).

Anyhow, check it out, lemme know what you think. It's fourteen inches tall, and about 26 inches wide. makes for a ~32 gallon tank.

Actually, we won't be using it. we've each got our hands full with our current tanks. If you're interested in it, drop me a PM. Since he does all custom work, it doesn't need to be that size, either.

That would make a nice bow front tank.

Already did. I like it... but wouldn't it be advantageous to make the tank a bit taller for people like me? IMHO, if I would like to walk through it shouldn't the clearance be at least 7 feet? Nice idea though, I want one. That LR in the pic wasn't cured was it?

No no no, you guys have it all wrong. Don't make a bow front. Turn it around the other way, and stick it on the front of a regular rectangular tank. So you can stick your head in and look around without getting wet! :D

I like the idea of inverting it sloth.
