8 foot tank upgrade project


Recommended Posts

I’ve made the jump. I picked up a used acrylic tank from someone who had it in a storefront. This will be a slow project since my wife is a bit leery about the massive size and will accept nothing less than furniture grade appearance. It has a basic stand but obviously that will need to be cleaned up. I will probably be looking for help on ideas of plumbing and lighting and I know there are a ton of you out there with larger sized tanks that I’d love some input!

My first concern is humidity. Do those with big tanks in Indiana have that problem ever? And are there any other issues or pointers I should know as I get ready to start gathering materials for this build? 

 

My my little brother is in the picture for size reference. Dimensions are 8’ by 3’ by 12”
