So I got the contact back from aqueon only the bottome and front panels are tempered. A ten gallon will be pushing it in my current stand I may not even be able to get that down there. If not I'll have to either build a seperate box which I can go with a bigger sump or have to run the sump beside the tank.
this is my tank http://www.aqueonproducts.com/products/bow-front.htm The front panel is tempered. I need to check if my back panel is as well. If not Im wanting to drain the tank, and plumb the system to have a 10 gallon sump instead of my canister filter system. As far as my live rock I'm just not digging the pieces and would prefer to get new live rock to reaquascape the system. Now I have been toying around with the idea of creating a smaller Nanoreef in my office utilizing a 10 gallon I have to keep my torch until the new tank it complete. The Snails, wrasse and hermits I'm not very attached to and would replace them when I got the new system running. In fact ive seen some other fairy wrasses I like better than my 6 line. Mostly I just want to drill the tank to clean up the look increase water volume via a sump, and reaquascape the system to be more pleasing to me.
The only downside to running the little 10 gallon while I'm working on this project is I don't know how feasible it will be to keep the torch and wrasse healthy during the transition. Also the lighting issue and flow on the 10 gallon is a obstacle im reading up on right now.
Well After thinking about it Im not happy with my tank and have decided to restart from scratch. With that, I have a sixline wrasse for sale, A colony of Xenia, and A torch coral. I also have assorted Red and blue legged hermits and 3 turbo snails. If anyone is interested shoot me a message. Im just gonna start from ground up because seriously im not really happy with anything in my tank right now.
