Dream Tank-One designer's flight of fancy that became a reality

One designer's flight of fancy that became a reality

This is a photo-realistic rendering of a true 3-D solid modeled aquarium setup with cutaways that show more detail of the design.

It was my old tank design and you can read about it and some of the results of it's implementation in articles that are posted below.

These five articles have been consolidated into three.

I am in the process of designing a new setup with a new set of problems to solve.

Below, I placed a much lower quality quick rendering of what I have planned so far.

I would encourage anyone that has any ideas or questions to contact me

I will use the same actual glass tank, virtually the same lighting and I also hope to enhance the volume of the dump bucket(s)[not shown]
but I will have much more room to work with in a larger cabinet.
I have purchased a water trough to use for plants and also to have a very deep sand bead.
The plenum will be under this bed instead of under the sand in the tank
and I believe that it will be set up for reverse water flow.
I purchased two 6” by 6 foot lexan tubs to employ a sulfur denitrification system but
I will delay the Implementation of that for a while. Instead, I plan to use one tube for a cryptic zone filled with coral rubble.
Right now, I am working on building aragocrete arches along with a hundred other projects.
This incluces a summer back yard project (see below)
