Still looking to find the 55G corner a new home. Offers welcomed if you are interested.

I do not have information if the glass is tempered of not. I know that there is a diy test you can do to find out, and if I can get my hands on polarized glasses, I will definitely check for you. In regards to the dimensions, I can have that information for you this evening.

Time to downsize my collection of tanks just a tad:p Both tanks are currently running to show that everything is working. If interested in purchasing, tanks will of course be prepared for pick up asap. = 55g Corner Tank (Diamond shape no top) /w Stand = $100 OBO - Ehiem 2213 Canister Filter - Various other fresh water accessories - volcano bubbler(woo!) - plenty o' gravel - a light (not sure what brand or wattage, since it was given to me) - box of other fresh water tank goodies = 16g Nuvo Nano /w Stand = SOLD If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to PM me directly.

I went with the HOB filters simply for aesthetics. Now that there is a book shelf on the living room side of the tank, I may consider a canister. I have one sitting in reserve, just in case I decide to make that change. Surprisingly, the flow in the tank is pretty good. Having the two 55g rated HOB filters on each side, really moves the water around. I definitely need to get a better powerhead (Teresa wants her back:p) Unfortunately, I don't think a sump is viable where the tank sits. Hiding that would be a project in itself:p

I have a copper band butterfly in quarantine right now. If it lives and all the "ich" is gone, it should make it to the tank in the next week or so. I sure hope it makes it, cause it really is a nice looking fish with a quirky personality:p

Been a while since I have updated this tank. I decided to go forward with turning it into a reef tank. Added the following: 48" BmLED Reef spectrum light Green Killing Machine - UV sterilizer Powerhead - not sure of model, Teresa loaned it to me:) As far as livestock, i just have a few zoa colonies and two frog spawn. The wrasse is the first resident and seems to be doing well. Hope to add more soon as money permits. There was about a week where you could not even see in the tank with how thick the green bloom was. The UV sterilizer worked great in clearing it up.

What would you use the hang on filters or canister for? The filtration for the tank. The larger hang filters are two wide for the tank, so I have to use a smaller GPH rated power filter. Plus, with the length of the tank, figured having two would keep the tank nice and clear:)

Thanks for all of the advice guys! There was a 16 gallon tank on there previously with no issues. I also "hopped" around on that shelf and it did not seem to have nay "give." While that is not a fool proof test, I believe that this shelf could hold that weight. Before the water goes in, I will be dropping a liner underneath, for some water protection. For aesthetic purposes, I am contemplating putting a hang on filter on each side. I thought about using a canister, but the hoses just did not look good in that open space. Would the two filters be a tad overkill for a "fish only" tank?

The plan with this tank is to have a nice marine display separation between the dining room and the living room. To start, the tank will be a FOWLR set up. Future consideration will be made to convert to a reef tank waaaay later down the line:p Tank Specs(thus far): 55G Long Aqueon Tank 2 Marineland Penguin 200 Bio-wheel power filters
