Brick 225 with side overflow (peninsula style)

[Bill S]

I have a tank nearly exactly like this tank - it's 29" tall. A brick-tank is VERY expensive to build - and consequently very heavy! But, they are extremely safe AND there is NO BRACING. Once you have one without bracing, you'll see why brick-tanks are a real prize.

Yep, Bill is dead on it is very heavy with thick glass all the way around. there is no center brace, no euro brace....no bracing. makes it great to get stuff in and out.

No bracing also means no worry about lighting placement, and no salt creep on the brace!

man, someone needs to get this. When they get it home, they will finally realize what they got.

Seriously:

The tank is wide enough to put in a wall - to be seen from both sides.

With the peninsula design - overflow on the end - it is PERFECT for both an island AND for a 2 sided viewing tank

The lack of bracing makes lighting infinately easier - no dark spots from the brace or braces, no salt on the brace to block light and make a shadow, no low lighting that's found under a brace... For instance, with MH lighting and a single brace, you HAVE to have 4 fixtures. This will save you a complete fixture.

A tank that Mamma will feel WAY more comfortable having in her house. It's STOUT.

Having an end overflow is PERFECT. Mine is set up to return from the other end - the sheet of surface water turns over every few seconds, and O2 levels are VERY high.

A 30" deep tank gives you plenty of room at the top and middle for corals wanting a lot of light, and the bottom for those that would prefer less!

I'd take it if we had the money right now. Hubby is using his July bonus to do the floors in the house. Anyone want to spot me until I get my bonus in November? LOL.
