It will cost you a lot more if you going to use 1 pc of glass for the L shape.. double the price of a normal tank. I asked before. .... I would prefer to have a 2ft in length for the drop off. Easy maintenance and easy scapeing. . Think of the pipeline and how to prevent dead spot at the drop off

This tank design reminds me of a tank build on rc. Here's the link for anyone who never saw it before. reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2121728 Definitely a cool idea bro. Hopefully u can make it happen.

My intentions is to have the drop off all the way down to the ground with natural cliff look.

Is that a mp wavemaker or close loop at the bottom. If using mp wavemaker you need to open a hole at the cabinet for the mp dry side.. .. maybe I drill two hole and attch locline for another return pump for thedeep side. If you going for sandbed also need to add a pc of glass at the edge to prevent sand dropping to the deeper end

why not acrylic?

Acrylic will cost a bomb in local market. Not easy to maintains also.

Been there, It will cost you close to 5k for the tank setup alone.. And not to mention that it is high risk to use glass a slight miscalculation with the cabinet, you will end up with a leaking tank in the future..

So I went for a 4x3x3 instead since I am replicating deepwater habitat anyway..

I would probably make a 5ft by 3ft by 6ft tank. Then I'll use either acrylic or tons of live rock to create the cliff look. I think some pple use plaster or Paris or something similar to create scapes
