Fiberglass Troughs

Here is my newest project. Picked this tank up for only $400. It’s 8 ft by 2 ft by 10 in. I am putting a top brace on it now and will be installing a corner overflow box. I am wanting the water to drain out the bottom of the tank instead of a overflow box hanging on the side of the tank. It’s 1/2 in acrylic. I bought the 3 in pieces for the top eurobracing and @SweetReefOH helped me out with installing it. Reefing buddies are always a blessing. I currently have a 7 ft frag tank tied in with my main display that I am quickly out growing so this tank came along at a perfect time and for a perfect price

Love dimensions on this tank. Is it set up yet? Pretty much identical to the Aqua Japan 60's I ordered. Only difference is ghost backflow on mine.
Really looking forward to the depth and footprint in these tanks. What kind of return/returns did you go with and what do you have moving water inside the tank?
On Edit i just realized yours is 48 long. Mine are 36 long.

Somehow stopped getting notification on this thread. When I found it again, it dropped me on page one. -- started in 2009.

Interesting that in all the early photos, the light source was always halides. I am barely getting by without a chiller these days running with T5 hybrid lights. Were chillers mandatory back in halide days?

And I thought I packed things tightly. I think you win the award for most frags per gallon. Congratulations! Looks great!
