    30 gallons (outside measurements) in reality about 25.  36" x 24" x 8", black bottom and baffle, may have the sides and back tinted.  Corners and top edge rounded and polished.
    This is just a quick mock-up, not shown are light fixture frame holders, frag racks, and filter media. Will post pics as the build progresses...

    yeah I remember seeing reefkoi running an HOB stuffed with carbon/etc at shows too so it never hurts to have it, only hurts when you don't have it /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    Things went to hell on Friday at work, PC crashed. Got too cold and the little space heater I had couldn't keep up so had to put a 240 circuit in and get a beefier heater. Have the sides bonded to the front but waiting for the warm-up to do the rest. It'll be ready for you though, I'll make sure!
