The Fluval Profile As A Marine Aquarium?

[Marshall..]

I am looking to create a reef aquarium using the fluval profile,I would like a sump with a refugium but am concerned it won't be big enough as it has a support in the middle of the cabinet.Has anyone had any experience converting these to a marine aquarium is it difficult having the doors on the side? Also with it being such a deep aquarium will the four t5s it comes with be enough lighting for corals etc? I spoke to a lfs and they told me the lid would have to be altered too to create the weir is this true? Thanks your advise would be appreciated.

You dont really want too deep a tank if you are going for corals, would be ecpensive to light.

Give us a few more details of tank proportions and how much this is going to cost as may be better to order yourself a tank from a custom builder. Can you also let us know what you would like to keep

Aren't there various size tanks? Which size are you using? Thanks. SH

Yes they come in 2 sizes.

And even if you can fit a sump in the stand, maintenance will be hardwork to get to everything.
