Headless_donkey Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Does anyone have a room divider tank? I am looking into setting up one and would like to see some examples. If you have pictures I would love to see them. If there is a cool website I should check I would love to see that as well. I think the big issue will be the plumbing. I am right? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeferKris Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I personally dont own a room divider but have set a few up and maintained even more. The main obsticle isn't really even an obstacle. You will need to drill your tank on the end(unless your tank is pre-drilled in the bottom) instead of the common location on the back of the tank. Basically you will have three viewable sides with either the closed end housing plumbing or the plumbing can run through the stand if pre drilled on the bottom. Hope this helps.

thedude Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 A space in the wall or cabinet on the side of the overflow is a big help. The other main thing to remember is to make the top accessible on both sides. It's a huge PITA when only one side is open. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apmark Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 There is a guy in San Antonio that visits this site with a beautiful room divider tank. Anyone remember who that is and the link to his tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headless_donkey Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 Thanks for the link on reefcentral! i will definitely make both sides accessible on your advise. I was considering only making one side open. I think I am going to do some CAD drawings of my plans. I really want to to have three of the four sides visible.
