Topic: Rimless ~90 gallon build Posted: January 30 2012 at 8:40am |
Just finished filling up my new 90 rimless build. Now I just need to get some rock and let it cycle =].
Chad is the one who helped me put the glass together, did a great job too! Also just waiting for my light fixutres to be finished anodized so I can put up my lights.

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler -A.E. 57 Gallon RImless build in progress check the thread before if becomes boring and just full of nice pictures of colorful coral!

bstuver: Thank you!
ksmart: Yeah it turned out better than I expected =].
disneymania: The front and side panes are starfire the back is reg glass. Actual building time I probably would say ~32 hours including building the stand, overflow, plumbing, etc... Dimensions are: 36"x30"x20"
Laird: Thanks! 36"x30"x20"

This is looking amazing, im quite jealous! Are you worried about the clean up crew? Im scared to go "rimless" as all my snails seem like they are constantly trying to escape.

Thanks! You can't really tell in the picture but I ended up buying a clear 1/4" mesh screen and creating a screen top to go over the aquarium. It was originally for any possible jumpers but now that I think of it my snails can't get out either. But before I had my screen I had a couple snails come close, but none ever really made it out, seemed like once they were out of the water long enough they would just drop back into the tank.
