18" Tank, Any Suggestions?

[Sporen]

I am after a new 18" tank to replace my current battered 18". I have looked into having one made but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't making things overly complicated and expensive for myself. I after a tank resembling the Arcadia arc tank:

I would just buy one of these but I am desperate to carry on using my 18" Arcadia overtank luminaire and this tank is only 16" wide. So does anyone have any suggestions? Alternative tank ideas or a way to make my light fit this tank without making a total hash of it will be much appreciated. It doesn't matter what equipment the tank comes with as I will be transferring all my old stuff over to the new tank.And as long as it is 18" wide I am pretty flexible on the other measurements. As long as it doesn't exceed 60L as I don't want to have to buy a new filter!

Many thanks

xx

Get a Clearseal 18x12x12 tank and chop the braces off. It'll end up looking like something from An ADA amano catalogue.

Good suggestion on clearseal, I had a look on their website and came across the beauty that is the Panaoptic 480 which my light will fit on and looks exactly like the Arcadia arc! Just need to find a stockist now............ Does anyone know of anyone who has these?

can the luminaire be suspended by wires from the ceiling or something liek that? then it wouldn't matter if it was an inch or two under/over the tank size
