My new starphyre tank build

[winston199]

My new tank will be a 2 side starphyre tank 30''x24''x21'' skimmer will be octopus 200 extreme sitting in a 50 gallon sump, return will be a quiet one 3000 and a phosban reactor. Flow for the tank will be 2 MP40W and lighting will be a 24''ATI power module 8 lamp fixture. The stand will be a custom furniture quality stand made from cherry and poplar stained dark brown and some stone. Coral and fish will be selected from my large tank before it is shut down.

that will look nice, especially with the stand you'll make.

I love the look of that tank... and the 8way ATI Powermodule... lets just say that lighting will never be an issue, other than the cost of trying new and different bulbs...


And I cannot wait to see the stand...  I'm sure it's going to be spectacular!


Why are you shutting down your current system?  Isn't it only a few months old?

why the rim of glass on the top?

Nice Job, the tank looks great!


The glass rim on the top is called eurobracing and adds a great deal of structural integrity to a tank especially when you don't have that black trim on the top.

I need to move the big tank to make room for a wood stove so there wont be a place for the tank anymore.
