    New corner pentgon tank

    Here are few pics I took today of my new corner pentgon tank.
    The dimension are 24"x24"x21" around 43 gallons.
    I am going to try run a closed loop with the overflowsince there is very little room under neath for a sump. If it doesnt work well will have to have a sump made then and get a mag drive for pump.
    Curently plan on using the iswaki 20rlt for cirulation.
    Will be setting up some time in the next few days.
    I have around 35 lbs of tonga shelf rock curring right now in a empty tank. I will have around a 5" sand bed of variuos size graines of sand because I will be adding a blue spot jaw fish for main fish in this tank.
    Will proably light with a 2x55 watt CSL abs hood that I can pick up used for $100 then keep a few select LPS corals in later.
    I will have some calurpa in the tank for nutrient extraction.
    The stand I through together my self with some extra wood at the LFS I am helping get going.
    Will post a pic of rock as soon as batteries recharge for camera.

    Well just filled it up with water for leak test and to see if overflow would work with closed loop.
    It is running perfect. I drilled 5 extra 3/8" holes in the side of the overflow so extra flow can get in with out having to come over the top and it is working perfectly.
    Will drain it later tonight and put in the sand and refill then wait till the rock cures in the other tank then should be ready.
