DROP OFF REEF TANK

[reef garden]

Dear bro and sis,

I am considering this design for my reef tank with a sump tank below and wonder if any of you owns one or seen one? I am trying to see if there are any special considerations that I need to think of and whether there are any flip sides to this design that I need to be cautious about. Who would you recommend to build this kind of tank in Singapore?

Thanks.

Not sure of it is a good design for a reef tank. Saw the same concept display tank make by Marine life at imm fish carnival few years ago, maybe you can try checking with Henry

saw this drop off tank at another forum, you probably need to worry about getting enough lights to reach the bottom of the drop off.

and also getting your armpit wet (while doing a full stretch) when placing corals

Due to the depth at the drop off, it will create a lot of pressure. So doing glass will not be safe Long run. Best to do it in acrylic

How about reinforcing the base stand with a cast iron frame before the usual wooden carpentry cabinet works?

Under the innovative marine line, they have come up with 2 similar ones known as Abyss Panorama and Abyss Peninsula, although these are much smaller in size and shallower in depth. Are any LFS bringing them in to our shores soon?

Thanks.
