it has been done, I have seen setups that do just that. for that you would want 1 1/2 pipe, so that the plugs would fit without cutting them off.]]> Thu, 28 Feb 2008 14:10:27 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23998&PID=215611&title=acrylic-tanks-and-sump#215611 <![CDATA[Acrylic Tanks and Sump : I just thought of the sweetest...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23998&PID=215564&title=acrylic-tanks-and-sump#215564 Author: soundsurfer

I just thought of the sweetest idea.  Well, im sure its been done before but its still cool.  Could you possibly built another hole in the 90 overflow,and run your wires for you lighting through that so it could be in the middle of the room with no wire and nothing? It would look pretty sweet. ]]> Thu, 28 Feb 2008 10:51:20 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23998&PID=215564&title=acrylic-tanks-and-sump#215564 <![CDATA[Acrylic Tanks and Sump : It needs to be Cell Cast Acrylic....]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23998&PID=215068&title=acrylic-tanks-and-sump#215068 Author: rdbrown

It needs to be Cell Cast Acrylic.  The thickness is determined by a formula of height and width, but height is most important due to the increase of water pressure.]]> Tue, 26 Feb 2008 08:44:30 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23998&PID=215068&title=acrylic-tanks-and-sump#215068 <![CDATA[Acrylic Tanks and Sump : verry nice endeed what kind off...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23998&PID=215003&title=acrylic-tanks-and-sump#215003 Author: john hill

Here are a couple of tanks I just built and an acrylic sump.  The one with the center overflow is a 36"x36"x24" 90 gallon aquarium.  The sump is 40"x18"x20" about 62 gallons.  The cube is a 24"cube 60 gallons.
