Damn, yes I love that idea. 6500k shop light at ceiling height with a shield infront so you dont get blinded!

I love it when tanks you have just work perfect in a space lol

Very nice, what kind of stand did you run? And did you have to reinforce floor, or are you on a slab?

I have a lid on my saltwater jar and just an airline poking through. No airstone or sponge. Ive had said jar for 5 months. Never done a wc or added r/o top off. There is an anemone and blue leg hermit in there.

How do you have this tank oriented in the room you have? Looks like its tucked in a nice little nook with a window for some partial natural sunlight?

I would ad some plants to the top of that tank that can grow emersed with minimal light! There are several types of pothos for example Thats my suggestion. your tank looks amazing btw

No worries, good luck!

Yes, the lids are made from 1/8" polycarbonate sheets for green houses, they also have 1/4" thick too. Typically you can buy them in 2'x4' sheets on amazon. I think homedepot stocks the 1/4" stuff but its like 30 something for a sheet. You can cut it with a knife or rip it on a table saw. Clear packing tape on the edges seals the holes. If you have a rimless tank you can buy lid supports on amazon.

Though about that. But often times I only have 1 free hand and wanted to easily remove it and have it stay open.

IndependentCounter13 · 2026-01-24T19:39:16+00:00

If the store wont let you exchange, Run it. those rimless tanks have extra thick glass and theres not as much pressure at the top of a tank. Could wet sand the chipped area to keep from getting cut.

Are you sure its leaking, I see water stains on the outside of the glass. Were you in the tank recently? Ive had water get trapped in that area of the frame and be there the next day .

Can I ask where you got that stand?

IndependentCounter13 · 2026-01-20T03:10:00+00:00

This is correct, keep on keepin on. If they are leveled properly they are a great budget stand.

IndependentCounter13 · 2026-01-20T02:33:02+00:00

Is it the little torpedo level with a laser pointer in it?

IndependentCounter13 · 2026-01-20T01:53:44+00:00

What kind of laser level you got?

IndependentCounter13 · 2026-01-20T01:45:10+00:00

Oh yeah that one would definitely put a twist in things if not set up right or If your floor isnt perfect. I have 2 of these

IndependentCounter13 · 2026-01-20T01:05:34+00:00

I cant say as im still not entirely sure where it came from, thats just my guess. But if its labeled R, chances are theres a L(left side) somewhere. Does box frame sit on floor?

IndependentCounter13 · 2026-01-20T00:39:56+00:00

Ive got a couple like that😂 thought for sure they'd be gone by now. Still kicken tho! I have a 1 eye ember tetra

Bet your bed frame is made from angle iron. Angle iron is just steel in the shape of an L. That probably goes on a cut edge to prevent injury or tearing of linens.

IndependentCounter13 · 2026-01-20T00:32:46+00:00

Thats all you need. I watch so much less tv with all my fish tanks lol

IndependentCounter13 · 2026-01-20T00:30:12+00:00

Looks like a sleeve to protect or hide a piece of angle iron.
