It was a challenging tank to build, but Jason did a great job on this one.
It's in my garage right now for some dry-fit time. I wish I hadn't of left my pump in Jason's shop.
My customers choice of furniture presented a few problems. First, the stand needed some structural modification to support this aquarium.
Then, the dimensions of the tank are a kinda wacky because of the cabinet that sits on. 47.25" long, 13.75" wide, and 24" tall.
This will be set-up in a children's play room, so it needs to be as child safe as possible. The request was that there be no filtration equipment under the tank that children may get into. Besides that, when I picked up their cabinet, I saw that I wouldn't be able to put anything inside of it anyway... ...probably just for books and board game storage.
The front of this cabinet has two pairs of sliding acrylic panels instead of hinged doors. I did add a hidden hinged door inside of one of the compartments to keep the power strip out of sight.
So the tank has a built in wet/dry filter. That makes the inside of the aquarium pretty narrow... ...only for skinny fish.
I"ll take another picture when it's installed in it's new home, after the fish and live rock have been moved in.
Thanks again Jason.
You really saved my ass on this one.
CFI is good hands again! If you have any custom aquarium needs, don't hesitate to call Jason.
You won't be disappointed with his work.
