Looks cool. Lotta work ahead for you, but it should be worth it

That looks one nice tank

What advantages do you see with having a corner tank and what disadvantages? A girl can plan and dream about a new tank can't she

I think you could make some seriously interesting rock structures in that shape tank. Its quite high though. So you would need some pretty good lighting over it.
I reckon a single vortch on the angled bit at the back would have a nice effect.

I have say my 55g is 22" tall, I am 5'5" and I have a set of little steps I have to use to get to the bottom of that tank!!
Can be hard work catching a fish in there aswell, using the steps I have to have them in just the right place, they know the bottom is the best place to hide from me.

Good luck with the swap, hope its going ok so far.

You gonna get a mini-sun and light it with a 400 watter Ben?

 

[ben1987]

Erm...maybe
Im going to start with my 250 and see how that looks. Theres also a couple of things il want before a lighting upgrade. More flow and a new return pump. Possibly a big deltec or a cone skimmer too.

I have drilled the tank today...which took about half hour cos the galss is sooo thick! il put some pics up soon. Saved the bit that came out to show it. I slo collected the glass for my weir...£7 result
