or ... My breakfast room is a disaster once again.
My son decided to give up his 60 (ish) gallon tank so we are replacing Octane's original 35 (that we thought was a 45 at purchase). The original tank was acrylic and needed only minimal additional support but the 60 is glass and requires some adjustments for support and size. We will use the 35 as a sump (as we did for the tube tank).
The counter top is too narrow (just) so we added a 2 x 4 behind it (will need to think about new trim to hide the extension that is not supporting the tank) and a set of supporting shelves underneath. Hopefully we will have water in the tank next weekend.
