Heyo, so after about a year of my 34 gallon custom acrylic tank sitting on the floor, I finally found someone to make the stand, and it is now up off the ground and ready for plumbing!

Tank is a 35x15x15" custom 3/8" acrylic tank, curved edges and euro bracing with a central overflow drilled on the bottom.
Made by John from Advanced Acrylics in Anaheim, CA! Great guy, and an awesome tank!

And the awesome stand is thanks to Chris at Rustik Ink, wonderful work as well! Holds the 34g on top, and a 40gallon breeder underneath!

And trust me, i was not the one who picked out the galaxy/star wall paper, or the blue carpet.... my brother had some interesting choices in colors and patterns... i just took over his room when he left...
 
i think it all works. The stand is very nautical. What other NPS do you plan to keep? I'm just learning more about mantis keeping.
 
Welp, im thinking mostly sun coral orientated, Tube anenomes, and a few dendros/seafans (gorgs). Allready have this sun coral in my 10g

I know :b my other two do what they want.. when they want... super glue powers... ACTIVATE. Anyone know of some sort of...er.. not paint but something to cover the wall so i dont have the cheesy stars and stellar wallpaper? im thinking cork board.
 
Looks like im going flex piping, and a herbie pipe in the overflow, but what bulkheads should i use, The two holes measure 2" in diameter, are there bulkheads that thin the diameter via smaller pipe that you connect the flex pipe too?
