I could most likely use less, but you know how we are, "gotta overbuild it!" 
It's really not that much more than if I built it vertically.

I think I screwed 4 lbs. of 3" deck screws this weekend alone. Most of the first layer is screwed in, but the rest is just fitted. I'm still working out the fit on the front. Going to make the face that the acrylic sits against then build off of it. Still going to use the same inset design that I had in the old front.
Just place for plumbing just like you'd have on tanks with vertical framing. Funny how no one asks what are all those openings between the studs going to be when they are framed vertically. The entire inside of the tank except for where the 50x99 acrylic goes will be covered in plywood. Not all the openings will be used, obviously the ones on the side by the french doors, but the others I'm putting just to give myself options.
Ahhhh of course, that makes sense to me now, good idea. I was thinking you may be putting some mini viewing windows in the sides.nolapete;3546987; said:

My friend couldn't get the nigers this go round, but gave me tiny sizes: 6 flagtail prochilodus and 10 banded leporinus.
LOL, Arowanas stalking flagtail prochilodus, so I think they are a bit small for the 210 yet. Quickly moved them to the 75 with the other new fish until they grow a bit.
Man I was thinking the same thing about those open spots.Bassinkorea;3547029; said:Ahhhh of course, that makes sense to me now, good idea. I was thinking you may be putting some mini viewing windows in the sides.
