Up for sale: my big tank.
Details -
Tank
46"x24"x20" around 95 gallons
Starphire three sides, rimless custom job by the late, great LarryM

Only water tested, never set up
Sump
32"x16"x16" acrylic three stage
SWC 160 skimmer brand new, additional custom impeller to increase franctionation

Quietone 4000 brand new return
Stand
Wood, stained black, heavily reinforced
Skinned with a matt covering to keep minimal light bouncing on it (held in place with magnets)
Lighting frame
Weld job, designed for LEDs, painted black, but its static and hard to move
Or I have a pair of Lumenbright pendants that will really add to the ultra-modern look
Why I went this way:
I loved the tanks that seemed to just be a piece of reef carved out of the ocean. In a lowlight room, this tank would appear to just float. The blue background in the glass would give it that endless ocean background like you can see in the open water display @ Monterey. Its ultra modern, designed for the shallow reef minimalist design.
Why buy it?
1. Starphire 3 sides
2. quiet overflow
3. once piece design (nothing to tweek in the basic setup)
4. undertank easy to access from three sides (for my endless tinkering)
4. awesome quality build, this was gonna be my first jump out of nanos, spared no expense
800 obo won't part out
