Ah... What can I choose in-order to let you gauge the size of this tank.
I know a bag of aragonite sand, everyone must be familiar with one of those.

I have decided to maybe clad the stand with 6mm antisun grey glass and have 2 hinged doors at the back (sump area) Purely from a standpoint that materials are accessible. Although the fancy hinges are expensive.

Meanwhile here's a sneak preview of one of my Father's Day presents.

I'm going down the Semi Conservationist route this time...Every Little Helps!

I am liking the idea of the doors

They know to ask now, rather than buying the usual suspects.

Gotta finish the Stand first Ben, then I'll move on to the Aquascape to give myself a little relief from the hardcore aspects.
I'm just collecting the materials at the moment and making a few mixes to see which suits best. Also scouting around looking at Reefscapes etc and trying to visualise coral placment rathr than buying corals and plonking them willy nilly.

Hello bigC
How’s thing coming along with the new build? I see you’re braking down your nano and was just wondering if this thing was any ware near getting wet
